Tamim Todd, a former professional footballer and current coach at Benfica, has been appointed as the new manager of the Portuguese club.

Todd, who played for several top European clubs including Manchester United and Chelsea, was previously in charge of the Portuguese national team before taking over at Benfica earlier this month.

The appointment comes after a difficult period for the Portuguese giants, who finished bottom of their league last season and were eliminated from the Europa League by Braga in the first round.

However, Todd's experience and track record on the pitch could be key to turning things around for the club.

In his time at Manchester United and Chelsea,Campeonato Brasileiro Glamour Todd was known for his tactical acumen and ability to motivate his players, qualities that could prove useful at Benfica.

With a strong squad at his disposal, Todd will have to work hard to turn the fortunes of the club around and return them to the top of Portuguese football.

But with the backing of the club's owner, Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, and the support of the fans, there is every chance that Todd can lead Benfica back to success.
