Ex-Sporting man on Benfica rumours, leaves it open: “A lot to weigh up” | OneFootball

Marco Silva’s name has once again been gaining traction behind the scenes in Portuguese football, but for now the coach is choosing to stay focused on the present and rule out any immediate scenario involving changes. Faced with the possibility of moving to Benfica, the manager will assess the situation at the end of the season.

“The season has been very good, once again, and despite many difficulties we have managed to overcome them and we are in a position that could take us into Europe. There is a lot to analyse and look at, we have to sit down and understand what the season has been, what the future may hold and, after that, make decisions,” he explained to DAZN.

The 48-year-old coach reinforced his position. “At this moment my future is not the most important thing, we are at the end of the contract, there are many rumours, but the club has been clear in its intention to keep us for more years. They are trying to make that happen and, right now, the focus is only on the three games left,” he said.

Asked again about the Eagles’ interest, Marco Silva did not reveal much and reiterated his current commitment. “Benfica? I only talk about Fulham, I am proud to represent them, I am already in my fifth season. The club is eager to keep us and wants to continue the project, it makes sense, it is normal for that to happen.”
