Luís Boa Morte to Benfica? Fresh update on recent rumours | OneFootball

Luís Boa Morte will not be part of Marco Silva’s coaching staff at Benfica, ruling out the possibility that had been considered in recent days. The former Portugal international is not part of the club’s plans for the new coaching staff.

the scenario was quickly dismissed, with the Lisbon club opting for other solutions.

Luís Boa Morte and Marco Silva worked together for several years in England, first at Everton and then at Fulham, in a partnership marked by stability and continuity. That connection came to an end in 2024, when the former Portuguese winger took over as head coach of Guinea-Bissau.

In 2025/26, the coach returned to assistant duties at Samsunspor, in Turkey, keeping his career tied to the international scene. Despite that shared path with Marco Silva, their professional separation had already taken place two seasons ago.

Thus, despite the initial speculation, Luís Boa Morte will not be one of the members of Benfica’s new coaching setup, remaining outside the project being designed for next season. On the other hand, Gonçalo Santos is confirmed.
