Adel Taarabt: "Sooner or later, Rúben Amorim will coach Benfica"

SAPO Notícias15 September 2026 at 18:54

Adel Taarabt expressed conviction that Rúben Amorim will inevitably take charge of Benfica in the future. His statements came on the eve of the match between Benfica and Milan, the team that Rúben Amorim currently coaches.

The former Benfica player, who represented the club between 2010 and 2013, showed confidence in eventually seeing the Portuguese coach in charge of the red-and-whites. Taarabt did not, however, specify any concrete timeframe for this potential transition.

The game in question takes place in the first matchday of the Europa League, pitting Benfica against Milan. This confrontation marks Rúben Amorim's return to the European stage as coach of the Italian team.

Taarabt's words come at a time when Rúben Amorim's name has been frequently linked to possible club changes, including Benfica, although the coach currently maintains his commitment to Milan.

Why this matters

Taarabt's statement feeds the debate about the possible transfer of Amorim to Benfica, in a context of strong rivalry between the two clubs. Benfica fans closely follow any speculation about who may lead the technical team in the future.
