Rui Costa is considering Andrea Pirlo at the helm of Benfica
Andrea Pirlo is one of the possibilities to replace Jorge Jesus at Benfica, according to sources in Portugal.
The 67-year-old Jesus is likely to quit the club, and Benfica will issue an official announcement eventually.
The heavyweights of Portugal are third in the
Primeira Ligastandings, but the connection between the majority of the players and the coach has broken down, and club Chairman
Rui Costa
will be obliged to dismiss the seasoned manager.
According to several reports in Portugal, the 49-year-old president met with the manager in the morning, and
Verissimo
, the coach of Benfica B, will be in charge of the subsequent training sessions.
Verissimo will almost certainly be selected as an interim coach, but Rui Costa is already thinking about his choices for the future.
Former Juventus boss
Andrea Pirlo
is one of the contenders to manage over the club, according to Record.
Pirlo began his coaching journey with a one-year stint with Juventus, where he won one Coppa Italia and one Italian Supercup, but not enough to get a second season.
