Bruno Lage leaves Benfica, set for new club with huge salary | OneFootball

Bruno Lage may be on his way to Al Ahly. After reaching an agreement with Benfica for termination, the coach is in the sights of the Egyptian emblem, which offers a truly millionaire salary. So far, the Portuguese's representatives have not given any response.

“The coach is being pressured by Al Ahly. The Egyptian emblem is waving at Bruno Lage the offer of a contract valid for one season and another option, in exchange for about 3.5 million euros/year net. The coach is evaluating the invitation, and it is certain that he will give a response to the club soon”, writes the newspaper O Jogo.

Last Monday, Bruno Lage and Benfica reached an agreement for the termination of the contract. As it seems, the coach receives the month of September, while his technical team will be entitled to the wages until the end of the contract. The eagles have managed to include such a confidentiality clause.

"Behind me is the stadium of a great Club and what I have to say is thank you, for everything. From what I talked with the president, everything is fine", said Bruno Lage, in statements to journalists, when he was leaving the Estádio da Luz, where he met with Rui Costa for a few hours.

In his stints at Benfica, Bruno Lage played 142 matches, winning 96, drawing 22 and losing 24. While serving the Club da Luz, the 49-year-old coach won four trophies for the reds: a National Championship, two Cândido de Oliveira Super Cups and a League Cup.
