Record13 September 2026 at 15:23

Coach Pepa, from Estrela da Amadora, publicly praised Renato Sanches, considering him "the best I've ever seen." The statements come following another standout performance by the Portuguese midfielder.

Pepa has known Renato Sanches well since his youth days at Benfica, having closely followed the player's development when he was still a young man in the youth ranks of the Lisbon club.

The Estrela da Amadora coach spared no praise for the former Benfica player, highlighting the exceptional qualities he always identified in the midfielder and that continue to impress in professional football.

This praise comes at a time when Renato Sanches has been recovering his best form, after a career marked by injuries and transfers that did not meet the expectations initially created around his potential.
