Benfica competed domestically in the Primeira Divisão and the Taça de Portugal, and participated in the UEFA Cup after finishing second in the previous league. Benfica began the new season hoping to prevent a third consecutive season without honours. After discarding the rule that prevented foreigners from representing Benfica, they signed their first one, Jorge Gomes. He was aided by other addictions like Carlos Manuel, João Laranjeira and second foreigner, César. Departing players included João Alves, Eurico Gomes and José Henrique. The league campaign started well and Benfica even led the league on some weeks. However, two consecutive losses, caused them to be overtaken by his rivals. They recovered ground, but with a loss against Porto in early February, the gap to the leaders increased to four points, which made it near impossible to recover. So the season fell on the Portuguese Cup, and eliminating Sporting in the round of 16 and beating Porto on the Taça de Portugal final, Benfica won their first trophy in three seasons and first Portuguese Cup in eight. Season summary The new season started in an unusual situation for Benfica, as the last time they went two trophy-less seasons was in 1948.António Manuel Morais Carlos Perdigão João Loureiro José de Oliveira Santos Benfica: 90 Anos de História 1994 SOGAPAL 236–243 Portuguese Former manager John Mortimore left at the end of his contract and was replaced by Mário Wilson.Futebol: agitam-se as transferências Diário de Lisboa 4 July 1979 19996 16 http://casacomum.org/cc/visualizador?pasta=06831.181.28484#!16 6 April 2017 Football: Transfer season shakes things up Portuguese He was assisted by Peres Bandeira.Perides no Benfica Diário de Lisboa 26 July 1979 20015 16 http://casacomum.org/cc/visualizador?pasta=06831.181.28503#!16 6 April 2017 Perides at Benfica Portuguese The season brought significant changes because it was the first time that the club signed foreign players, after a members meet on 1 July 1978 decided to remove that prerequisite.Benfica deu o sim a futebolistas estrangeiros Diário de Lisboa 3 July 1978 19695 17 http://casacomum.org/cc/visualizador?pasta=06829.179.28183#!17 6 April 2017 Benfica said yes to foreign players Portuguese The first foreigner to play for Benfica was Jorge Gomes.Simões António Equipamentos com história A Bola Portugal 2008 978-972-99134-7-1 50 4 Other notable signings were Carlos Manuel, João Laranjeira and César, the latter in December.
