Big question remains if PIF will continue to be interested in project if Yasir is replaced for whatever reasons. Successor may have own pet project Is there any reason to think that he will be replaced? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Magpie Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Some background on Tiago Pinto He left Roma Feb 3rd, 24 Quote Since 2017, Benfica have won the Portuguese Primeira Liga and the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira as well as regularly qualifying for the Champions League. During this period Benfica have recruited players from within the Primeira Liga, a league forming some of the best young players in Europe, Spain’s La Liga, the Brazilian Serie A and the Argentine Primera Division, leagues which have provided some of the foremost names to have played in Serie A. During Pinto’s time in the role, Benfica have continued their rich tradition of the development of academy players, many of whom are now playing for Europe's largest clubs. Dan Friedkin, Chairman of AS Roma, said: “Tiago is a world class talent. In our many conversations, it was clear that his passion for his job, forward-thinking mindset, and, above all, winning mentality were consistent with the new ethos at Roma. "We are convinced that his remarkable energy, uncompromising ethics, and track record of identifying, developing and optimising talent will help in our ambitions as we begin to prepare Roma to compete for trophies at the highest levels of Italian and European football." Decent Athletic article here too. Edited March 11 by Irish Magpie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benfica are pretty sensational in the transfer market from a financial perspective.

Dr Jinx Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Massive profits on player trading is not something I can ever see our fans getting behind.. as in the ones that would generate those sorts of fees we tend to get very attached to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Wasn’t particularly impressive at Roma tbh (I know they won a trophy but that was more down to Mourinho and his recruitment). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah recruitment was a tad patchy tbh - they had a canny crop of Italians but I struggle to think of any big signings they made And yes all transfers seemed Jose driven.
