After taking benfica to the top of Portugal last season manager Jorge Jesus has resigned with immediate effect as he believed that the liga title was all the club could achieve as tightened purse strings at the club have prevented him from making the club competitive enough the challenge in Europe. The benfica board are thought to be already searching for a replacement.

Jorge Jesus will always be remembered by benfica fans all over the world for his management and ability to motivate his players.

The Search

Day 1- Various managers are linked with the position at benfica but the board are still keeping their code of silence.

Day 2-Martin O'Neil the newest manager to be linked with the vacant benfica post.

Day 3- The benfica board has broken their silence to announce that they are currently in talks with a manager to succeed Jorge Jesus but cannot reveal the details as yet.

Day 4- The name of former Porto boss jesualdo ferreira has been leaked to the media as the man that benfica are in talks with to take over the managerial reigns.

Day 5-Benfica stun the world by announcing that rookie manager Jorge bento would be taking over the reigns at the club and that they had complete faith in the man they have hired and that he will be able to lead them to domestic and European domination.

Day 6- Jorge Bento announces himself to the world
The following has been translated from Portuguese

Jorge bento has held his first press conference as benfica boss today and he was reported to have said: I sit here today in front of all of you not quite up top of the world but i can say mountain.My job here at this club is to take them to greatness they may have achieved something good last season but they have never tasted greatness but now i am here and they will taste greatness.
Reporter: Do you think you will be at the club for the long term.
Yes i think so because I am unique, one of a kind if i were to be sacked they would never find another manager like me.
Reporter:You carry yourself like a certain Jose mourinho
No, that is not true i carry myself like Jorge bento and as there is only one Jose like there is only one Jorge bento.
Reporter: Do you consider yourself special?
No, I consider myself as Greatness as wherever i go Greatness follows.
Reporter:How can you be so confident seeing as you have never managed at the top level yet.
Why ask such silly question when you can ask me my transfer targets, my tactics do you want to know my tactics for the coming season.
Reporter: Jorge what are your tactics and transfer targets?
No I am sorry you are to late

The End

Yes i prefer as you know to do things on my own terms.

Reporter:Jorge will you be making any more signings in this transfer window?
Why would you ask me that? I don't know we are just trying to wrap up the dentinho transfer as he in my opinion is the one the can replace Angel Di Maria.



Reporter:In your opinion who will pose the biggest threat to benfica's title defence
In my opinion?No one because we will absolutely dominate not only Portugal but we will do well in the champions league.


Reporter: The benfica squad hasn't had much strengthening over the summer what is your minimum expectation for the new season?
We have a squad that is capable of challenging on all domestic fronts this year and capable of winning.But the champions league will be our main focus.We will aim for a knockout round birth and work from there.



Reporter: In spite of so little money being spent do you think you can make it to the first knockout round.
Why do you keep saying so little money spent, the money spent was enough to strengthen the club.Football teams are like gardens they need to be pruned in certain areas so they can prosper if they are given to much water and manure they die away.

The End

Reporter:
Jorge are you nervous before this match which signals the start of the Liga season?
Seeing as Vit guimares beat you in pre-season.
I never get nervous as nervousness is a sign of weakness.I can promise you that the pre-season result won't happen again.

Saved by the man that has recently been subject to a 15million bid from Manchester United.Absolutely dominated the match but couldn't put away any chances and Cardozo was the main target of criticism .

Champions league Group stage draws a somewhat tough group for benfica seeing as they have some tough away trips.

Reporter: Jorge the last time out you team scraped a win that was supposed to be easily gained.Were you disappointed?
Disappointed no at this stage of season the team is still trying to find its rhythm and gel together.


Naval 0-1 Benfica

Another scrappy win from Jorge Bento's benfica with a wonder strike from Javi Garcia settling the match on the 12 minute mark and with that early goal benfica just settled into the match and went into cruise control not trying to exert too much energy by keeping the ball and riling up their opposing fans.

Reporter: Although they are scrappy wins your team seems to have a winning mentality.Do you think this can carry on for the rest of the season?
Yes because a team resembles its coach and I am a winner.
Reporter: We didn't get a chance to ask you your thoughts on your champions league group the last time so what do you think is your group difficult?
Nothing is difficult if you focus on the task at hand. In my opinion our away games will be key.We have to get at least 4 points away from home because I am confident we can win all our home games.

Benfica 6-0 Portimonense

After taking a gamble and resting some key players for the home game against portimonense Benfica absolutely destroyed the newly promoted side with the referee's help of course.Being awarded four dubious penalties and scoring a goal from about 7 yards offside benfica absoulety romped home as captain Nuno Gomez scored a hatrick (of penalties).
