Spaniard Camacho quits as Benfica coach LISBON, March 9 (Reuters) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spaniard Jose Antonio Camacho has resigned as Benfica coach, the Lisbon club's president Luis Filipe Vieira said on Sunday. 西班牙籍主帥已經辭掉Benfica的主帥職位。 Camacho's assistant Fernando Chalana will take charge of the team for the UEFA Cup last-16 second leg game against Getafe on Wednesday, Benfica said on their Web site (slbenfica.pt). Benfica lost the first leg at home 2-1. Camacho的助手Fernando Chalana將在星期三和Getafe的聯盟盃比賽裡暫代職位。 They were held to a 2-2 draw by bottom-of-the-table Uniao Leiria on Sunday, a result which left them 14 points behind Portuguese Premier League leaders Porto with eight games remaining this season. Benfica在星期六的比賽裡和墊底的Uniao Leiria打成平手， 在聯賽只剩8場的情形下，和領頭羊Porto的差距達到14分之多。 "I think it is best (my resignation) for the team," the former Spanish national coach told a news conference. "I hope that the players improve with another coach.” Camacho, who led Benfica to second place in the standings in a previous spell in Lisbon in 2004, was appointed coach in August after Fernando Santos was sacked. The Spaniard made his name as a hard-tackling defender for Real Madrid and Spain in the 1970s and 80s. He was assistant to Real first-team coaches John Toshack and Alfredo Di Stefano in the early 1990s before steering both Rayo Vallecano and Espanyol to promotion to the top flight. Camacho had two brief spells in charge of Real Madrid, resigning after just 23 days in 1998 following a row over back- room staff and quitting after three league games in 2004 claiming that he could not carry a dressing room packed with high-profile players. He coached Spain between 1998 and 2002, guiding the national side to the quarter-finals of both Euro 2000 and the 2002 World Cup. Resigning after Spain's World Cup exit at the hands of co-hosts South Korea, he then had his first spell in charge of Benfica, steering the Portuguese side to second place in the league behind Porto before leaving to take over at Real. Chalana steps in as Benfica coach LISBON (AFP) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Former Portuguese international Fernando Chalana will replace Jose Antonio Camacho as Benfica coach until the end of the season, club president Luis Filipe Vieira announced Monday. 前葡萄牙國腳Fernando Chalana將繼任Benfica的主帥一位到賽季末。 Camacho resigned Sunday claiming the motivation has disappeared from handling one of Portugal's biggest clubs. The Spaniard handed in his resignation following the 2-2 home draw with Uniao Leiria which left his team 14 points behind leaders Porto. "In principle he (Chalana) will hold this function until the end of the season," Vieira told a press conference. "Experience tells us that replacing coaches during the season isn't necessarily easy." Chalana, 49, played for Benfica between 1975 and 1990 and has been a member of their technical staff since 2002. 現年49歲的Chalana在1975~1990為Benfica效力(1984~1987年間在法甲的Bordeaux效力)， 並且自2002年起就成為球隊中技術團隊的一員。 Camacho, a former coach of Real Madrid, took charge at Benfica after the second match of the season and signed a two-year deal with the club he had already coached from August 2003 to May 2004. --
