Rui Pedro Braz’s next club revealed after Benfica exit | OneFootball

Saudi Arabia will be the next destination for Rui Pedro Braz, as soon as his connection with Benfica ends, at the end of September. After having held the position of sports director at Clube da Luz in recent seasons, the Portuguese director already knows his new destination.

The information is advanced by Record newspaper. Rui Costa confirmed the departure of Rui Pedro Braz "at the end of the month", and also left many compliments to the sports director. The President of Benfica did not want, however, to reveal what the next challenge of the Portuguese director would be.

However, the national press already confirms that the (still) sports director of Benfica is indeed heading to Cristiano Ronaldo's league, to be an opponent of the Portuguese star, as he is expected to sign for Al-Ahli, which currently occupies the seventh place in the Saudi championship.

Rui Pedro Braz was once pointed to Juventus, during the last summer, when his imminent departure from Clube da Luz became known. This information was not confirmed, as the sports director will join Cristiano Ronaldo, in Saudi Arabia.

At Benfica, Rui Pedro Braz's successor is identified and has already assumed duties. Mário Branco is the element that will replace the former sports director of the eagles, and has already played an important role in the arrival of José Mourinho at Benfica, after the dismissal of Bruno Lage.
