Benfica finalising arrival of Emery to the bench

Benfica got their second consecutive loss away to Maritimo on Monday and pretty much said goodbye to their hopes of winning the Portuguese league title. Porto are now six points ahead of them at the top. 

It seems like the team's bad end to the season is going to lead to manager Bruno Lage leaving the Estadio da Luz. And Unai Emery could be his substitute. 

In fact, 'Record' says that the Portuguese outfit have reportedly begun talks with the Spanish coach with the intention of him becoming the new coach. Jorge Mendes is apparently the middle man. 

Unai Emery was the Arsenal manager before being sacked after less than a season and a half due to poor results and he could now take over at Benfica.
