to overcome the situation and preferred to open other possibilities the team Luso.

The president of Benfica, Luis Filipe Vieira, present at the same press conference, said that the

decision of the technical Spanish is "irreversible" although the directive of the club had tried

to prevent it.

half season at Benfica but drew a crisis and game results and succeeded in conquering the

Portugal Cup one year later .

lowest point.

draws and two defeats and has managed goals against 14 laid down their opponents.
