Nuno Gomes on Benfica’s future: Here’s our strategy | OneFootball

Nuno Gomes spoke again, and among the topics discussed, the former footballer highlighted what needs to be improved at Benfica.

Last night, October 8, João Noronha Lopes presented his electoral program. At an event held at Espaço Beato 1904 in Lisbon, the candidate for the Presidency of Benfica was joined by Nuno Gomes, who spoke, emphasizing the need to improve certain areas of the Clube da Luz.

At the podium, the candidate for vice-president for football began by stressing that the team needs to find a direction: "There is a lack of a project, a path that indicates and brings victories back to our club. Without victories, it is this identity that is lost. If we don't play like Benfica, we won't win like Benfica".

Next, the former forward of the team explained that improvements are needed in various aspects and professionalism must always be present: "We need more competence, leadership, a smarter approach to the market, a long-term project that allows us to dominate in Portugal again and go further in Europe. Some of the ideas we have been working on, we want a winning mentality and identity".

"The organization will be professionalized with well-defined roles and integrated management. We already have a core group of people working for several months on what we want for the future of Benfica's football. Cohesion between the main team and B team, youth football, and women's football," added the former number 21 of the red and whites.

"We will make an unprecedented investment in retaining athletes. We want more João Neves. Who wasn't sad when they saw him leave? It is our intention to develop a strategy to retain young players who want to play in the main team and who can stay at Benfica for more years," added Nuno Gomes.
