Benfica coach, Jorge Jesus, is looking to secure his 50th win in-charge of the Lisbon outfit. The tactician joined the club in 2009 and will enjoy a half a century of victories if his side are able to achieve three points at the expense of Beira-Mar
tomorrow.
One of the best managers currently plying their trade in Liga Sagres, Jorge Jesus, has become a popular figure in Lisbon.
Although he has enjoyed a mixed fortune at the helm, the trainer was able to grasp silverware during his maiden season at the helm.
Firstly winning the Portuguese league and cup double in his debut campaign, Jesus was unlucky to only end up with a single trophy in the following term while his arch-rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186, basted in the glory of a quadruple.
However this time, the tactician is seemingly on the course of piping the Portistas to the crown once again, as his side are currently placed first in the Liga Sagres standings.
Having amassed 49 wins during his time at Estadio da Luz, the 57-year-old will have the opportunity to secure his 50th three points if Benfica are able to counter the threat of Beira-Mar at Estadio Municipal Aveiro tomorrow.
Obviously ecstatic at reaching the landmark, Jesus, said that it was positive sign for him and the Eagles to be on the verge of recording their 50th win but reiterated that they have to analyze their errors, so that they can go even further.
"It is important for me to win every game. But I honestly did not know this record. I will try to appreciate this more and more in my daily sporting life. Reaching 50 wins with Benfica in the league is a positive sign. However the important thing is to
look at the faults and virtues, so that we can win more often,” Jorge Jesus was quoted as saying.
With arguably the strongest squad in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984, in terms of quality and experience, Benfica are touted as title favourites given their recent form.
That coupled with presence of Jorge Jesus at the club makes them a force to be reckoned with and few would bet against them given their winning ways.
