professional Bruno Lage 2021-2022 Football Boots.
Bruno Miguel Silva do Nascimento, known as Bruno Lage, is a Portuguese football manager who is the head coach of Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers.
During his short tenure as coach of Benfica in Portugal, he won the 2018-19 league title and the 2019 Super Cup.
Born in Setúbal, Lage started his coaching career in the youth ranks of hometown club Vitória de Setúbal in 1997.
Lage coached every youth team of Benfica from 2004 to 2012 and later worked as an assistant coach to Carlos Carvalhal at Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea City.
Lage returned to Benfica as manager of their reserve team in July 2018 to replace Hélder Cristóvão.
During Benfica's 2018-19 season, Lage took charge of the club's first-team as caretaker manager, replacing Rui Vitória on 3 January 2019.
He managed his first Primeira Liga game in a 4-2 home win over Rio Ave on 6 January and was appointed permanent head coach eight days later.
On 10 February, after winning two consecutive Lisbon derbies - including a 4-2 away win in the league - he led Benfica to the biggest Primeira Liga margin of victory since 1964 and to the league's highest scoring win since 1965, a 10-0 thrashing of Nacional, setting the record for the biggest win at the new Estádio da Luz.
In his UEFA Europa League debut, Benfica won in Turkey for the first time in their history, beating Galatasaray 2-1 in the first leg of the round of 32.
As Benfica won 2-1 away in The Classic on 2 March 2019, Lage equalled Rui Vitória's 3 wins out of 16 matches against rivals Sporting and Porto.
From matchday 16 to 34, Lage went on winning 18 league matches and drawing 1 to conquer his first major trophy, Benfica's 37th league title.
With a 94% winning percentage, he surpassed Jimmy Hagan's record at Benfica and achieved Primeira Liga's all-time best second round: 49 points.
He equalled Sven-Göran Eriksson's 1990-91 feat of beating Porto, Sporting, and Braga away in the same season.
Lage also equalled Benfica's league scoring record of 103 goals in 1963-64.
Lage then started a second season at Benfica with a 5-0 win over Sporting CP in the Super Cup.
On 17 September, he made his UEFA Champions League debut in a 2-1 home defeat to German side RB Leipzig, increasing Benfica's losses in the competition to 11 in the latest 14 matches.
On 29 June 2020, Lage made his position available after equalising Benfica's worst ever series of results - 2 wins in 13 matches in the 2000-01 season - and establishing a record of 5 consecutive matches without a win at Estádio da Luz, which included defeats to Braga and Santa Clara.
He was replaced by his assistant coach Nélson Veríssimo on 30 June and had his contract terminated on 4 July that year.
In June 2021, Lage was lined up to succeed compatriot Nuno Espírito Santo at Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers.
He required a hearing for a work permit as he did not qualify automatically to work in Britain post-Brexit.
The hearing was successful and, on 9 June, he was confirmed as the club's new head coach.
On 14 August 2021, Lage lost 1-0 away to Leicester City on his debut.
He achieved his first win ten days later, a 4-0 victory at Nottingham Forest in the second round of the 2021-22 EFL Cup.
He got his first league win at the fourth attempt, a 2-0 win against Watford at Vicarage Road on 11 September.
Lage's first win at Molineux came in his fourth such Premier League game of the season, a 2-1 success against Newcastle United on 2 October, both Wolves strikes coming from Hwang Hee-chan.
Lage's son, Jaime, is named after Jaime Graça, Lage's biggest influence in football, as a mentor.
Lage's younger brother, Luís Nascimento, is also a coach.
