Glorioso 1904 exclusive - Benfica decide on Sérgio Conceição | OneFootball

Sérgio Conceição is not an alternative to José Mourinho at Benfica, according to what Glorioso 1904 has learned. In this exclusive, our newspaper states that the former Porto manager is not among Rui Costa’s choices, and the option for the Club’s coach will indeed be Marco Silva.

. The 51-year-old coach could have been seen as a replacement for José Mourinho, as he is on his way out to Real Madrid. However, our newspaper knows that this change will not happen.

The agreement with Marco Silva, Sérgio Conceição’s strong emotional ties to Porto, and the unrest among Benfica’s fan base over this possible move are the reasons why this switch is practically impossible to happen.

It is worth remembering that with Porto, the coach won three National Championships (2017/2018, 2019/2020 and 2021/2022), four Portuguese Cups (2019/2020, 2021/2022, 2022/2023 and 2023/2024), one League Cup (2022/2023) and three Super Cups (2018, 2020 and 2022).

In addition to his spell in Porto, Sérgio Conceição also managed Olhanense, Académica, Braga, Vitória de Guimarães, Nantes, Milan and Al-Ittihad. In his playing career, he was a teammate of Rui Costa in the Portugal national team, where they played together at Euro 2000 and the 2002 World Cup.
