June 12 : Former Fulham coach Marco Silva has joined Benfica as their manager on a two-year deal with the option to extend for another year, the Portuguese club said on Friday.

Silva left Fulham after five years in charge, guiding the club back to the Premier League and leading them to an 11th-place finish last season.

Benfica finished third in Liga Portugal under Jose Mourinho, who left to take over as Real Madrid's head coach.
