Benfica's president was accused of in addition to his companies having also and allegedly despite the presumption of innocence of having perhaps injured the club in more than 2 million euros from some transfers of certain players and other scandals for his own benefit.

At this moment, the president is Rui Costa, former Portuguese international, who always loved the club and was, until recently, vice president. The same is now focused on forming a strong squad to enter the champions league as Benfica, due to its third place in the Portuguese league, has to make the qualifiers of the champions league starting in the beginning of August the competition of millions that clubs are very much missed, essentially by Portuguese clubs.
