Benfica KO on debut, Schmidt in danger? The club denies: “Completely false”

The false start in the championship, with the sensational 2-0 defeat on the pitch of Famalicao, is already putting pressure on Roger Schmidt. During the day, rumors emerged of a possible dismissal of the German coach (as Braga did, who changed coach in the last few hours) but the Lisbon club categorically denied it with an official statement published on their website.

“It is completely false that Sport Lisboa e Benfica, after the first day of the championship, is on the market looking for a coach, just as the names that have appeared in public are false. It is false, it is pure speculation.”
