Benfica is experiencing a turbulent time just over a month before the elections, scheduled for October 25. Amidst the sporting, technical, and structural crisis, the leadership of Rui Costa has been criticized by several candidates. In light of this scenario, the 'Serve Benfica' movement has publicly issued an appeal regarding the electoral act.

The movement, which includes names like Francisco Benítez, released a statement emphasizing that the club is once again in a turbulent period: "Once again plunged into a deep institutional crisis, from which it never truly emerged".

In addition to pointing out that the club is once again facing a crisis in various areas, the group of members makes a firm appeal regarding the elections, which will take place on October 25: "With total honesty and transparency".

Besides the electoral race, the Serve Benfica movement also offered advice to Rui Costa regarding the possible hiring of José Mourinho to succeed Bruno Lage: "Decide with the club's best interest in mind, not binding it to commitments that go far beyond the current term".
