Benfica's six-goal man keen on future with Marco Silva: a dream | OneFootball

The possible arrival of Marco Silva greatly pleases Carlitos. The former Benfica player - who is keeping an eye on developments involving Rui Costa and Jorge Mendes - between 2004 and 2006 and also coached by the Portuguese manager at Estoril, believes that he "understands football very well" and that he "would be an excellent option".

"Marco Silva was the best coach I had in my career. It would be a dream to see him coaching the club of my heart", he began by saying, in statements to the newspaper Record, not holding back in his praise for the 48-year-old coach who still belongs to Fulham.

Carlitos highlighted Marco Silva’s tactical quality, as in 2012/13 he led Estoril to fifth place in their debut season in the top flight. For the winger, qualification for European competitions was a consequence of the "best training sessions" he had in his career.

"In those two years I was at Estoril, we were one of the teams in the league that played the best football. We went toe to toe with any team, even the big ones. They were excellent seasons", stressed the former footballer.
