For ex-Salzburg coach
10 million euros! Mega settlement after being sacked
Roger Schmidt has reached an agreement with his former club Benfica Lisbon to terminate his contract. The former Red Bull Salzburg coach is said to have received a hefty severance payment.
As the Portuguese medium "record.pt" reports, Benfica Lisbon has terminated the contract with Roger Schmidt, which was due to run until 2026. Ten million euros - that's how much the 57-year-old German received in compensation.
After a poor start to the season, the Portuguese top-flight club parted company with Schmidt at the beginning of September. Only seven points were secured in the first four league games. Schmidt had been coach at the capital city club since July 2022.
New coach still flawless
Things are currently going really well at Benfica under new coach Bruno Lage. Five games, five wins - that's his record. Including an impressive 4:0 win against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
