The president of Benfica, Luís Filipe Vieira, in an interview with THE BALL, analyzed various aspects of the club’s life and clarified the situation surrounding the election of Jorge Jesús.
– He said that Jesus would not return to Benfica. Why did you change your mind?
It’s the context. When I said that the context was one, today it is another. The coming of Jesus was very, very detailed and well thought out. It hasn’t been thought of in days. He knows better than I have for days, “said Luís Filipe Vieira, in an interview with THE BALL.
– He said he had thought about Jesus in March / April.
“No, no, he said: ‘If there was a change at Benfica, you will be the next Benfica manager, so you want to.”
– Even now, on RTP3, he said he made the decision to hire Jesus in March / April. And in June he said that Bruno Lage would be Benfica’s manager regardless of whether or not he won the title.
“No no no. Maybe there is something wrong. I know the conversation I had with Jesus. I said to Jorge, ‘If we make any changes, you will be our coach. In fact, let me tell you, when I call Bruno Lage, when he comes in, yes Jorge has said yes, at that time, it would not be Bruno Lage. [o treinador substituto de Rui Vitória]. Now, when Bruno Lage comes in, he couldn’t get him out of there anymore. It’s over. Bruno was supposed to play a game, then Jorge said no. It was Jorge who was thinking, let’s be clear on this ».
