Exclusive Glorioso 1904: Manager gains support after shaky Benfica start | OneFootball

The official start of the women’s football team was no walk in the park. In this Glorioso 1904 Exclusive, our newspaper reveals that Ivan Baptista, the coach hired to succeed Filipa Patão, has been gaining confidence in his work after two poor results in his first games in charge of Benfica.

Glorioso 1904 has learned from a close source that the start of the season for the women’s football team raised some eyebrows due to a drop in performance. However, according to our newspaper, that less positive phase now seems to be behind them, as the Clube da Luz has been putting in strong performances.

At the same time, Glorioso 1904 confirms that Ivan Baptista already feels more confident and comfortable at the helm of the inspiring squad, after the defeat in the Women’s Super Cup final against Torreense and the draw in the first round of the Liga BPI.

Recently, as is known, Benfica managed to put a stop to their defeats against the team from the West, after winning on Saturday, November 8, away at Torreense. On the other hand, their participation in the Champions League has not yet lived up to expectations; however, the pressure on the team is less, given the level of difficulty of the competition.

This season, the red squad, led by Ivan Baptista, has already played a total of 10 official matches in all competitions: six in the Liga BPI, two in the UEFA Women’s Champions League, one in the Super Cup, and one in the League Cup. The record stands at six wins, one draw, three defeats, 31 goals scored, and only nine conceded.
