After completing all his training at Benfica and making his debut in the main team, this season, under the command of José Mourinho, Ivan Lima said goodbye to the Reds, on the day Piast Gliwice's transfer to Poland was confirmed. «It was the club that saw me grow. The only one in which I played throughout my training and for which I had the opportunity to debut for the main team. Sport Lisboa e Benfica was much more than a club for me. It was home, it was school, it was my dream and it was reality. There I grew as a player, but above all as a person. I lived moments that I will never forget, I learned values that I will carry with me forever and I represented a symbol that I carry with enormous pride,” the 21-year-old winger began by writing on the social network Instagram. «A very special chapter in my career has closed. It wasn't an easy goodbye, but it was done with gratitude and a lot of respect. Now a new adventure begins, with new challenges and new ambitions. I take with me everything this club and the people in this house taught me. Thank you, Benfica! Of all, One.» Ivan Lima, who signed for the tenth-placed team in the Polish League, was a regular on the Eagles' B team. This season, it was used by Mourinho against Desportivo de Chaves, for the Portuguese Cup, and against Arouca, for the League.
