Reportedly, one of the captains, Pizzi, made fun of coach Jorge and then a heated confrontation ensued between them. Although Pizzi denied the accusations, Jorge Jesus stopped Pizzi from training with the first team.
Players criticized the decision and decided that they also wouldn't train if Pizzi weren't allowed. Forty-eight hours later, Jorge Jesus was reported to have left Benfica.
Even the club President from 2003, Luis Filipe Vieira, was placed under house arrest at the start of the year.
Vieira subsequently resigned over alleged corruption in the tax system and funds laundering. However, there has been no conviction to date, and his lawyers have denied the accusations.
