Former Benfica coach Bruno Lage commented on his dismissal from the Lisbon club.
“The most important thing is that I wish Benfica all the best. That is what we tried to do, and that is what we worked hard on since the beginning of the season, with a completely different squad. But, unfortunately, some internal and external limitations did not allow us to perform better.
I wish good luck to the next gentleman. I don’t know if these reports are confirmed or if it is Mr. Mourinho. The most important thing is that he is a person who knows Benfica very well, he has played against this team three times, he often praised the squad, he said he was happy. He will be an even happier person with the arrival of Sudakov and Lukebakio.
The players always followed my instructions, I feel satisfied, I love Benfica, it has done a lot of good for me and my career, it shaped me in ways I could never have imagined, it provided me with financial means to support my family,” Lage is quoted by A Bola.
