Benfica's dream is Nagelsmann

Julian Nagelsmann has become one of the most sought-after German technicians on the market. His work at the helm of Hoffenheim and his first season in command of a Leipzig that closed the course in the Champions League place the 32-year-old young coach in the focus of all kinds of clubs on the European scene. As AS learned, the last to express his admiration for Nagelsmann is Benfica, that he would do whatever it took to convince Mr. Teuton.

Its main supporter is the president of the Portuguese team. Luis Filipe Vieira He has been following the path of a Nagelsmann for some time, which, in its day, even came to sound for the Santiago Bernabéu bench. His tactical ability, his talent to squeeze each player and his young age impose on Vieira, who would like to lead the next project at Benfica (his coach Bruno Lage resigned a few days ago) with Nagelsmann at the helm.

The Eagles are going through a difficult time. After leading the NOS League for a total of 14 days, they were eliminated in the Europa League round of 32 traumatic Shakhtar and ended up collapsing in the league competition too. A victory in the last seven games has led Porto to extend the lead to a total of six points with five days to go and the Lisbon dome to rethink the future.

Mauricio Pochettino, a former Tottenham player, who seems to convince the Benfica project, is playing loudly, according to sources close to the Argentine preparer. Pochettino is looking for a new project and in the Portuguese capital they expect him to end up saying yes to Benfica. Unai Emery would be the substitute, but the one who convinces Vieira the most is still Nagelsmann. He would throw the benfiquista house out the window for him German, although he knows that his hiring seems practically impossible. He has a contract in Leipzig until 2023 and, unfortunately for Vieira, a project as exciting as that of Benfica.
