On 4 June 2013, coach Jorge Jesus renewed his contract for a further two seasons, making him the first manager since Otto Glória in 1958–59 to start a fifth consecutive season at Benfica.
The season was one of the best in Benfica's history, as the club won its 33rd title, its fifth Taça da Liga (without conceding a single goal), reached the Europa League final for the second consecutive season (without any defeat) 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. Benfica also finished the season unbeaten in home matches, and the 57 games played are a club record for a single season.
