Kicked out
Ex-Salzburg coach Schmidt has to leave Benfica
After a poor start to the season, Roger Schmidt is no longer coach at Portuguese record champions Benfica Lisbon. Benfica initially announced on the club's website that they had begun talks with Schmidt regarding the immediate termination of his contract.
A short time later, president Rui Costa then announced the separation from the former Red Bull Salzburg coach. "The coach has been informed that he is no longer coach of Benfica," he said.
Stability did not materialize
"We wanted stability. But after four rounds, our results and performances, we came to the conclusion to change the coach. We want to present the new coach as soon as possible." According to the sports newspaper "A Bola", Benfica's former coach Bruno Lage is the favorite to succeed him.
On Friday, the 57-year-old Schmidt's previous team only managed a 1-1 draw at Moreirense. In the first four league games, the traditional club only managed seven points. Schmidt had been coach at the capital city club since July 2022 and still had a contract until June 30, 2026.
