With Jorge Jesus in an increasingly fragile position on Benfica’s bench, Rui Costa will already be looking for a replacement for the Portuguese coach and, guarantees the Transfer market, the president of the eagles will have probed the availability of Andrea Pirlo.
The Italian portal reports, even so, that senior members of the incarnated Board will be “pushing for a Portuguese alternative” and the names of Paulo Fonseca and Nuno Espírito Santo, both free, as well as Pirlo, who left Juventus at end of last season after finishing the season in 4th place.
Former Italian international, Pirlo and Rui Costa were team-mates for several years at Milan.
THE Transfer market underlines that there have not even been open negotiations, but an informal approach by Rui Costa.
