SL Benfica 1985-86 Away Retro Football Shirt

The 1985-86 campaign brought a new Benfica coach in Englsihman John Mortimore and a firm attempt to wrest back the title from Porto. Leading the table for much of the season, a 2-1 loss in the penultimate championship round to Sporting Club saw Porto jump ahead of the eagles and snatch the title. There was still silverware to celebrate however as Benfica retained the Taca de Portugal after defeating city n eighbours Belenenses in the final.

The increasingly prolific Danish Striker Michael Manniche was Benfica's main source of goals again, through new signing, the Portugal international striker Rui Aguas, ran him close. Manuel Bento, Carlos Manual and Minervino Pietra all made significant during this campaign too, and this was last season at the club for the long-serving veteran Nene.
