I just do not have any basis of fact to say that he is qualified "YET" to do this job on his own. Time will tell. Nothing in the world would make me happier than see him do well. We will see. Lets see how many young players we see on the field next year. This year was a perfect opportunity to let the young players player and gain experience. Stay tunned I guess.

Benfica is not a huge mess, a huge mess are teams like Boavista and others fighting for existence. Now I'm not aiming this at you but its fans that always talk like its the end of the world that make the situation worst then better. Benfica the organization itself is in good shape, the brand name is still valuable, the current team is ok, just needs a few changes to be more consistent. The missing piece is a good sports director.
You're right, there is no basis to say Rui is qualified for the job just like there is no basis to say its a
HUGE mistake to give him the job. Lets just stay tuned as you said
And remember, the most important part of Rui's job currently is getting a good coach. After he gets a coach he will be working hand in hand with the coach, its not like Rui will be coaching the team. And I don't think there's anyone better suited to pick a coach then someone who actually played for some of the best coaches in the world and who better to lure them to Benfica then someone like Rui Costa??? After that its mostly about getting the best players you can that you can afford and I personally think Rui likes young players and will try to bring players from within as was his own personal experience.
