Some say Bruno Lage already has a date to be sacked by Benfica | OneFootball

Pedro Sousa argues that if Luís Filipe Vieira or João Noronha Lopes win the Benfica elections, Bruno Lage will be dismissed. On CMTV, the journalist believes that after the statements made by the Portuguese coach in the preview of the match against Santa Clara, there is no other possible scenario.

“I’ve realized that my friends won’t say it. I will. The way Bruno Lage spoke today – what he said and how he said it – if the Benfica elections are won by Luís Filipe Vieira or João Noronha Lopes, Bruno Lage will no longer be Benfica’s coach a week or 15 days later,” stated Pedro Sousa.

“Without prejudice to another thing. Bruno Lage is a Benfica member and will exercise his right to vote. He has the right to do so, but that is citizen Bruno Lage, not the Benfica coach, who is the highest-ranking official of the Club,” concluded Pedro Sousa, addressing the controversial statements of the coach.

In the press conference previewing Benfica – Santa Clara, Bruno Lage took a jab at Luís Filipe Vieira: “This was the only market [summer, the second under the technical command of Benfica] where the president and the sports management took the coach’s ideas into consideration. We talked a lot and all our work converged in that direction. I am very satisfied with the work we did and I feel very good with that responsibility.”
