Rui Costa announced that Rui Pedro Braz will leave Benfica at the end of the month. In an interview with the newspaper Record, the President of Clube da Luz only had positive words for the former commentator. Regarding his future, the leader of the club preferred not to provide much information.

“Rui Pedro Braz leaves at the end of this month and I can only say that he was an outstanding professional. He always had the responsibility to understand that we were going to make these changes. He was involved in this market with his usual dedication and now he has a new destination,” revealed Rui Costa.

“As for [his destination], that will have to be revealed by him [Rui Pedro Braz]. On my part, I thank him for all the work he did at Benfica where he was an outstanding professional. I am very grateful to him,” stated Rui Costa, who saw Bruno Lage contradict his version of the facts about the departure from the club.

“Rui Pedro Braz was in charge of the market. He played the main role in deciding whether to bring in or not bring in players, but there is this confrontation within the entire structure. Mário Branco participated in these meetings,” explained Rui Costa, detailing the transition process at Benfica.

“Now Mário Branco takes on both roles strategically. It was the model I chose because Mário Branco has always done this work, and I trust him greatly. He will also have a structure around him to assist,” concluded Rui Costa, showing confidence in the new person in charge at Benfica.
