Although Benfica has yet to officially confirm Leo's contract renewal, all 3 major Futebol Dailies are reporting that Leo and Benfica have reached an agreement for the left back to remain at Estadio da Luz for another 2 years.
Good News from Lisbon, in what was most likely Rui Costa's first action under his new functions.
Next up...... Cristian Rodriguez.
***EDIT***
In the press conference that served as the introduction of Rui Costa as Sporting Director, Rui Costa confirmed Leo's renewal and has also put the Eriksson option to bed, claiming that Benfica could not wait for the Swede's situation to develop.
In the meantime, Jose Peseiro has left Panathinaikos.
Rui Costa has also confirmed Benfica's signing of Ruben Amorim, but has claimed that Jorge Ribeiro has not signed with Benfica, but is part of a group of players that are of interest to Benfica.

Rui Costa seems to be starting well as manager. He had a clear speach and dealed with the questions very well.
About Peseiro... OMG, please no! He is competent and he knows the game, but he lacks charisma! The names on the newspapers are Quique Flores, former Valencia coach, and Cesare Prandelli, Fiorentina Coach. I have no knowledge to give any opinion about either.
First positive point for Rui Costa. Well done!
About Peseiro... HELL NO!!!
