Rui Costa close to tying down Benfica futsal coach Cassiano Klein to 2029 | OneFootball

Rui Costa is close to agreeing a contract extension for Benfica futsal coach Cassiano Klein, the club’s back-to-back national champion. According to Glorioso 1904, a two-year add-on would keep the 43-year-old at the club until 2029.

Klein is in the final year of his deal. Benfica want to retain the Brazilian who reshaped the domestic picture, ending Sporting’s run after they had won nine of the previous 11 league titles.

Talks began near the end of last season, which concluded with Benfica sealing the bicampeonato. Beyond the two league titles, he has already added one Taça de Portugal and one Taça da Liga, quickly underlining his impact.

Across two seasons in charge, Klein has 69 wins from 87 matches, numbers that back the club’s faith in him.

Before any paperwork is finalised, he faces a fresh test on Saturday. Benfica meet Sporting in the Supertaça, a trophy he has yet to win with the club.
