The race for the top spot at Benfica is heating up, and a key candidate is making bold promises. Martim Mayer, hoping to become the club’s next president, recently took to social media. He spoke about an issue many fans know well: getting tickets for games at the Luz stadium. Mayer believes the current system is too difficult. He wants to create a new, separate team just for ticket sales. This group would focus on making the whole process simple and clear for everyone.
Mayer is the grandson of Borges Coutinho, a past president who left his mark on the Eagles. In another video, Mayer explained his plans for the club’s football operations. He argues that the way things are run now needs urgent change. He wants to build a highly professional setup. In this new system, everyone would have very specific jobs. And their performance would be checked all the time. This goes for the top managers, the coaching staff, the players, and even the support teams.
To make his vision for football a reality, Mayer has a specific role in mind. He plans to hire an Executive General Director. This person would be in charge of all football matters. They would decide how the team plays on the field. They would also pick the right coach for the job. This director would also be responsible for choosing who leads the scouting department and who runs the youth academy.
