    Has there ever been a bigger failure than Benfica's 2020-2021 campaign? €100 million spent, zero silverware. Yikes.

    Jesus is the real winner in this deal. The dude is cashing cheques and just keeps on pretending to care :D

    And yet, they won't fire him. Hope he stays forever.

    JJ is a complete disaster as I had predicted. So basically LFV fired the previous coach (not good enough) hires JJ but then spends boat load of money for the supposed better coach. I guarantee that the last coach would have done much better if he had better players too. JJ even with these players fails. Now rumor that although he is not good enough for Benfica, he is good enough to Coach the Wolves in the EPL.

    "On 29 June 2020, Lage made his position available after equalising Benfica's worst ever series of results – 2 wins in 13 matches in the 2000–01 season[22][23] – and establishing a record of 5 consecutive matches without a win at Estádio da Luz, which included defeats to Braga and Santa Clara.[24] He was replaced by his assistant coach Nélson Veríssimo on 30 June and had his contract terminated on 4 July that year.[25][26]"

    I guess you forgot about this. That turd was rightfully fired. His tactics were the following: if losing match, remove entire midfield and replace with strikers....proceeds to lose control of game.

    Jesus is a phenomenal coach and i hope he takes over for Santos after the euro (if not him then jardim)

    And JJ came in as said what ? I cant win with these players. Then we spent a boat load of money on players what what did JJ accomplish this year. Big fat zero.
    JJ is crap and never takes responsibility for his mistakes. Can forget this year when our team tied a game that we were winning going into the second half and his response to the media is that the players dont know how to defend. OMG he does not even understand that defending is ALL on coaching lol Sorry, I cant stand him. My memory is very good about JJ thank you. Kind of like permanently scared into my memory

    We are getting what we deserve. I think we handicapped ourselves with a couple of stupid moves and bringing JJ back was the worst.

    Congratulations to Sporting, winning with emerging Portuguese players is great to see and i don't think Sporting would like to have it any other way.

    Most Benfica fans know exactly what he is. Kick has f ing ass the hell out. What I don’t get is how they are thinking of appointing a replacement. How do you appoint someone for an elected position.

    Curious, why post this article in this thread ?
