Former Moroccan player Adel Taarabt gave an interview to the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport where he spoke about his time at Benfica and criticized former coach Rui Vitória. Taarabt stated that Vitória "wouldn't even say hello to me," denouncing a lack of communication and relationship with the Portuguese coach during the period he was at the club.
In the interview, Taarabt also commented on the possibility of Ruben Amorim coaching Benfica in the future. The former player stated that Amorim "will coach Benfica sooner or later," demonstrating his conviction that the current Sporting coach could come to lead the red and whites.
Taarabt played for Benfica between 2010 and 2013, a period during which he failed to establish himself as a starter and had a conflicting relationship with the club's technical staff. This interview comes as another chapter in his controversial statements about his experience at the Estádio da Luz.
