Player shown the door by Rui Costa strengthens Benfica rival | OneFootball

Rute Costa has already found the new challenge in her career. Just about two weeks after leaving Benfica, the experienced goalkeeper has signed a contract with Torreense, the team that the Eagles’ women’s squad faced in the Portuguese Cup.

According to the newspaper Record, the 31-year-old keeper is preparing to take a new direction in her career after ending her connection with Benfica, which lasted about three and a half years. The same source states that the Portuguese international is ready to become an option for the team currently sitting in 3rd place in the Liga BPI.

The confirmation came through Torreense’s social media, which shared an image of the player already wearing the colors of the Oeste club. The image caption reads: “🔵🔴Welcome to your new home!”.

Thus, Rute Costa is getting ready to strengthen the goal for the Torres Vedras side, managed by Gonçalo Nunes. It is worth noting that the Oeste club is the current holder of both the Portuguese Cup and the Super Cup trophies, both won against Benfica, the former club of the Portuguese international.

As for the vacancy left by Rute Costa’s departure, the national press reports that Benfica is already working to finalize the signing of Michaely Bihina, a young goalkeeper who has been shining for Racing Power.
