Jorge Jesus wants Luis Filipe Vieira to be re-elected
Benfica coach, Jorge Jesus, wants Luis Filipe Vieira to retain his office as the president of the club and has backed the official for re-election.
Under the tutelage of Luis Vieira, Benfica have become a true force to be reckoned with and are seemingly on course to reaching the once great heights they achieved during the days of Eusebio.
During the 62-year-old’s tenure, the club have won the Portuguese League title twice, the Portuguese Cup once, the League Cup thrice as well as adding the Portuguese Super Cup to the trophy cabinet at Estadio da Luz.

Vieira’s transfer policy has also been conducive to the club’s success on the field, as the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pablo-Aimar-c28938 and Nicolas Gaitan were all brought in by the businessman.
The Inland SA CEO has also claimed in recent months that Jesus’ current deal at the helm should be extended and he be allowed to take the club forward.
The trainer has also voiced his backing for the superemo and said that he wanted to stay at Estadio da Luz and wanted Luis http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Filipe-c13764 Vieira to remain in office as well.
"Yes, it is still early. I still have one and half year left on my contract [until the summer of 2013]. I live football every day. I am not kidding. I am extremely pleased to be at Benfica, having helped the club win many titles and records that were not
long overdue. I live my day to day.”
"The life of people in football depends on the quality! Winners are those who always have more time, whether player, coach or president. [Filipe Vieira] has been a winner since joining the club, it is a given fact. And members of Benfica should certainly
allow him to continue,” he said.
Boasting an impressive tally of silverware under his belt, Luis Filipe Vieira has seemingly transformed the Lisbon outfit into a title contender and genuine challenger in Europe.
His re-election is backed by the current manager and the fans will also surely want him to take charge again, as he has delivered on his promise to bring glory back to the Stadium of Light.
