More Eriksson at the Club's museum

A group of 16 members of Sport Lisboa e Benfica donated the Cosme Damião Award to the Club – a tribute to the legendary Sven-Göran Eriksson  (who passed away on August 26, 2024). As coach of the Eagles, he successfully led the professional football team for five seasons (1982/83 and 1983/84, and 1989/90 to 1991/92). The honorable distinction was among the various belongings of the former coach that were auctioned in the early months of the year. João Pais, one of the SLB members, visited the Reserve, Conservation, and Restoration department, told the story, and delivered the award, a unique item that is now part of a set of 38,000 pieces in the collection.
