Benfica extend the contract of Roger Schmidt

Benfica, one of the most successful football clubs in Portugal, has extended the contract of their head coach Roger Schmidt. The German coach joined Benfica in the summer of 2022 and has already made a significant impact on the team's performance with the club currently sitting atop the Portuguese League and into the Champions League quarter-final stage.

The extension of Schmidt's contract is a clear indication that the club management is satisfied with his work and believes that he can lead the team to further success. It also shows that Benfica is committed to building a long-term project under Schmidt's guidance. Schmidt's contract will go into the summer of 2026 and include an undisclosed buy out clause that should increase from the current €9M mark.
