Vienna, Austria. 1990. A man weeps by a grave. He lowers his head and murmurs a few quiet words. He sits awhile, glances intently at the writing on the headstone, he uses the palm of his hand to wipe away the dirt. His eyes glaze over with a look of hopelessness, almost pleading for something to happen. Nothing happens. The man rises, turns and leaves. That night he gets his answer -- the curse lives on. Despite being finalists on seven occasions in various major European finals --  in 1963, 1965, 1968, 1983, 1988, 1990 and in 2013 -- each time Benfica have been unable to bury the famous curse. Bela Guttmann's curse.
@highlight
Bela Guttmann was a Hungarian Jew who survived the Holocaust
@highlight
He led Portuguese soccer team Benfica to European Cup glory in 1961 and 1962
@highlight
After leaving Benfica, he left a "curse" that the club would never win it again
@highlight
Guttmann coached  in 13 different countries, before dying at the age of 82 in 1981
Even in death, Guttmann is determined to have his own way -- much to the anguish of a club he left in anger after taking it to the peak of @placeholder football in the early 1960s.
