European Champions League quarter-finalists Benfica have agreed in principle to sign German Roger Schmidt as their head coach. Schmidt signed a contract with the Portuguese team until 2024 after he decided to turn down a new contract with PSV Eindhoven, which he led to win the Dutch Cup last season. Schmidt made his name at Salzburg and Bayer Leverkusen before a spell in China where he was sacked in mid-2019 by Beijing Guoan.
