Mission accomplished, in just two games. While the ethernal rivals of SL Benfica will have to fight today vs Leões de Porto Salvo in the third and decisive semifinal game, the Lisbon leões are already waiting for their final opponent after overcoming Módicus twice in the other semifinal pairing.

Waiting for the final a surprising news came from the white and green club, given by the announce of the Orlando Duarte departure (confirmed to Futsalplanet.com by the former Portugal coach) since the end of this season. Something maybe unexpected considering the good appearances of Sporting on both the local and international stage, but surely a good chance for lusitan and foreign clubs for the next season.

Orlando Duarte, highly experienced coach working in our sports since a life, is then looking for a new club or national team in order to keep up his great work on the worldwide futsal stage. Who will appoint him? Time will talk, as usual. For sure, this sounds as an inviting chance for clubs or federations, in order to improve their level and achieve the hoped goals.

In the meanwhile, don't miss the third portuguese semifinal game between Benfica and Leões de Porto Salvo, live on RTP 2 at 17.30 Lisbon time (18.30 CET)!
