Benfica Appoints Marco Silva as New Head Coach

Benfica have appointed Marco Silva as their new head coach. The announcement was made by transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano.

José Mourinho left Benfica to become the manager of Real Madrid. His exit created the vacancy that Silva now fills.

Marco Silva previously managed Fulham in the Premier League. He brings Premier League experience to the Portuguese side.

Silva will succeed Mourinho at Benfica. The club expects him to rebuild after the former coach's departure.

Silva will take charge ahead of the upcoming season. Benfica aim to compete for the domestic league title and European spots.
