Benfica is very close to securing the continuity of Cassiano Klein in charge of the futsal team. The 43-year-old Brazilian coach is in the last year of his contract with the eagles, but negotiations for renewal are progressing well. The club and the coach are close to reaching an agreement to extend the partnership for two more seasons, until 2029.
The talks between Benfica and Cassiano Klein began near the end of last season, which culminated with the conquest of the double championship. This second consecutive title represents a significant shift in the national futsal landscape, ending Sporting's dominance, which had won nine of the previous 11 championships.
In addition to the two consecutive national championships, Klein has also led Benfica to victory in a Portuguese Cup and a League Cup. The impact of the Brazilian coach on the red project has been swift and expressive, transforming a team that had not dominated the sport for a long time into the dominant force in Portuguese futsal.
Benfica's intention is clear: to retain the coach who managed to shift the balance of the sport in the country. With the parties very close to finalizing the agreement, the renewal until 2029 should be officially announced soon, ensuring stability for the eagles' sports project.
