Luis Filipe Vieira is preparing an alternative to Rui Costa, the newspaper reported on Monday Write down. This is one of the movements that is already happening behind the scenes at Benfica in view of the next elections at the club scheduled for next year (October 2025).
In his last elections in October 2020, Vieira included Rui Costa in the club’s governing bodies for the first time as vice-president of the board and declared that he would be his successor. But since leaving office in July 2021 following Operation Red Card, the former president has distanced himself from his successor, whom he openly criticized in Vieira’s Verdade as well as CMTV.
Although he has reduced his publicity, he is focused on defending himself in lawsuits in which he is accused and has health problems related to the tension, so he asked prosecutors to delay the investigation of the case until June emails – Vieira continues to follow the life of Benfica. And you know what CM, disagrees with the way Rui Costa ran SAD. He is concerned about financial sustainability (net debt has almost doubled, from €100.9 million at 30/06/2021 to €192.4 million at 31/12/2023) and disorderly market management (€200 million spent on players in two seasons). ) and fears his legacy will be called into question.
