Liga BPI: Best Coaching Staff of December and January

The newly crowned five-time national champions, Benfica's women's football team, were present at the Benfica Official Store at the Estádio da Luz on Tuesday afternoon, April 15. The Inspiradoras interacted with the many fans who lined up - some even waited more than two hours for the session to start - and who didn't waste the opportunity to talk to the protagonists of the historic feat and remember the moment with photographs. From the youngest to the oldest, everyone left satisfied. “Filipa, you're the best coach in the world,” said one Benfica fan.

Historic day for Benfica and Portuguese football! On Saturday, April 12, the Inspiradoras celebrated winning the fifth national championship in a row after beating Valadares Gaia 0-3, on matchday 20 of the Liga BPI, with goals from Christy Ucheibe (29'), Cristina Prieto (42') and Beatriz Cameirão (75'). A trophy that they have added to the League Cup. Fervent in their support for the team, the Benfiquistas gave color to the celebration at the Estádio Dr. Jorge Sampaio, painted red and white.

With five wins in as many games played by Benfica in the competition during October and November 2024, coach Filipa Patão received the award for Best Coaching Staff in the Liga BPI - which she leads with a 100 percent winning record. The coach was grateful for the award, praising “a group that works every day to try to be better”. "I think this team has always been very ambitious and has always been hungry for titles, to win more, to look forward and to put new goals on the table. That's the secret," said the coach of the four-time national champions. Filipa Patão also received the most votes in August and September.

The Inspiradoras began this Wednesday, July 19, the medical examinations and physical tests for the 2023/24 season (see photo gallery here). Even without the full squad, due to the participation of 10 players in the 2023 World Cup, coach Filipa Patão already saw "motivation and ambition" on the first day. "We want to continue winning and achieve the new ambitions we have. One of the great objectives of the Club has been the bet on training, we were developing and every year we promoted players. Every year we are stronger, we are consistent and more mature. We welcome new players with great ambition. Another year for us to continue the work and growth we have had", praised the coach of the women's football team to BTV.
