On 4 June 2013, coach Jorge Jesus renewed his contract for a further two seasons,[4] making him the first manager since Otto Glória in 1958–59 to start a fifth consecutive season at Benfica.[5]
The season was one of the best in Benfica's history, as the club won its 33rd title,[6][7] its fifth Taça da Liga (without conceding a single goal), reached the Europa League final for the second consecutive season (without any defeat)[8] and won its 25th Taça de Portugal achieving the tenth double (record) of the club. By winning the Primeira Liga, Taça de Portugal and Taça da Liga, Benfica achieved a unique treble in Portugal.[9] Benfica also finished the season unbeaten in home matches, and the 57 games played are a club record for a single season.
