Benfica, be warned! Marco Silva reveals when he'll decide future (Video) | OneFootball

ended the season with a win against Newcastle at Craven Cottage, in Fulham’s farewell to the 2025/26 campaign. At the end of the match, the Portuguese coach, linked with Benfica, had a few words of appreciation, but without ever suggesting it was a goodbye, stressing that the decision will be made this week.

“At this moment, and to be honest with you, I don’t feel that way. I don’t feel that way because I still haven’t decided. Because if I had made my decision, I would have no problem saying it,” began the 48-year-old coach after the match, revealing that he still does not know what will happen next season.

“To be honest with the people I love, to be honest with the people at the club, who would be the person at this club, if that happened, who would want to have a proper goodbye from the fans, the players, the people around me? It would be me,” added Marco Silva, the name that has the broadest backing within Benfica’s structure.

“At this moment, I haven’t made my decision. It will be next week, for sure. In the coming days, we will sit down again and, of course, then we have to announce it, because the club has to move forward,” said the Portuguese coach in the aftermath of the match against Newcastle, where his team came out on top.

“If it is for that reason, for me not to be here, the club has to move forward; if it is for me to stay here, then we have to do it,” concluded Marco Silva. The coming days will be crucial in understanding what decision the 48-year-old coach will make, at a time when Benfica are also trying to resolve the José Mourinho situation.
