A year and a month were enough for Bruno Laze to become a beloved, scapegoat in Benfica and to lose all the love and support he had. From champion of Portugal in May 2019, to No. 1 responsible for the crisis of the "eagles". He resigned after the new defeat of his team with 2-0 by Maritimo, with last year's champions now being at -6 by the champion Porto…
Laze had taken over the position left vacant by Rui Vitoria in January last year and had managed to lead the Capitals to a title that seemed, until then, impossible. Somehow, he won everyone's hearts. Finally, a coach who could impose a different philosophy, with more fun football at Da Luz. This season, however, his decisions were illegible and "incomprehensible" for them έξω from the outside, but mainly for those inside the organization. The 3-2 defeat by Porto on February 8 was the beginning of the end, although the interruption due to the coronavirus pandemic was seen as the opportunity for the restart that Benfica so desperately needed. Something that never happened, after all.
Instead, the system collapsed, with the players being jerseys wandering around the field with absolutely no confidence and energy. Many were preparing for transfers and due to coronavirus they will stay, others already have their minds where they will play next season. The fans, after attacking the footballers and even injuring Weigl and Zivkovic, turned to the verbal attacks on the 44-year-old coach and from yesterday opposed the president, Luis Filipe Vieira, calling him "the architect of the disaster". His own mania for profit from player sales brought the team to this situation and it is a big question mark how the situation will turn out.
