Attorney says that Vieira is considering returning and reveals a reaction to Rui Costa’s rise: “Did they do that?” – Benfica

Manuel Magalhães e Silva, Luís Filipe Vieira’s lawyer in the ‘Red Card’ case, revealed this Monday, in an interview with TVI, what the former Benfica leader’s reaction was when he learned, at the end of the interrogation on Saturday, that Rui Costa had risen to the presidency of the club incarnate.

“He only found out about it on Saturday afternoon. This takes place late on Friday afternoon, when he was incommunicado and therefore didn’t know about it. The next day, when I arrived at the courthouse for the interrogation, which was about to start, the The last thing I would say to him was that. And I didn’t actually say it, but I told him at the end of the interrogation. His exclamation was: ‘Did you do that? Nothing else. I didn’t say anything more strictly. ‘Did they do it?’ And I told him: ‘Mr. Luís Filipe Vieira was really like that. You have to understand that the world is what it is”, the lawyer began by saying.

Back to the club?

“It is something he is considering. He suspended his duties at Benfica and because he only suspended them, when he wants to resume them, he can resume them because he can do that. It is something he is effectively considering,” he added.
