Now it’s official: Roger Schmidt renewed for Benfica – Benfica

Record today, directly, an understanding between the coach and SAD to extend the contract until 2026

Done! Benfica and Roger Schmidt have reached an agreement to renew the contract, until 2026, you know register. After announcing live on our website, at 8:25 PM, the Reds made it official at 8:47 PM.

Rui Costa’s desire to extend the relationship with the German coach will be fulfilled. Happy to lead the Eagles and live in Portugal, Schmidt agreed to renew his contract for two more seasons, the scenario presented by our newspaper. The leader of the tournament and with his presence in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the coach therefore deserves a vote of confidence from the leadership of Benfica, and nine months after signing with Benfica, he expands the bond with the Eagles.

It should be noted that if the coach remains in Luz until 2026, this will be his longest contact with the club. It’s just that, to date, he has not spent more than three consecutive seasons in the same club. A scenario that can change when passing through Clube da Luz.
