Dijuluki "The Maestro",[2] Costa menghabiskan sebagian besar karir sepak bolanya dengan Benfica di Portugal dan Fiorentina dan AC Milan di Italia. Dalam karir papan atas selama 17 tahun, ia memenangkan beberapa trofi, termasuk satu gelar Primeira Liga, satu Piala Portugal, satu gelar Serie A, tiga Piala Italia, satu Liga Champions UEFA, dan satu Piala Super UEFA. Seorang pemain internasional Portugal, ia mengumpulkan 94 caps dan mencetak 26 gol untuk A Selecão dan mewakili negara dalam tiga Kejuaraan Eropa UEFA dan satu Piala Dunia FIFA.
Dianggap sebagai salah satu playmaker terbaik sepanjang masa,[3] Costa biasanya bermain sebagai gelandang serang dan dikenal karena tekniknya yang luar biasa, kemampuan playmaking, dan kemampuan mencetak gol dari lini tengah. Ia dianggap sebagai salah satu gelandang terbaik di dunia sepak bola dan salah satu pemain terbaik Portugal sepanjang masa.[4][5][2] Pada tahun 2004, dia dinobatkan oleh Pelé di FIFA 100 sebagai salah satu dari 125 pemain sepak bola terbesar yang masih hidup.[6]
Post-playing career
Sporting director
The day after his last professional match, Costa was presented as director of football at Benfica. During the summer 2008 transfer window, Costa brought head coach Quique Sánchez Flores, playmaker Pablo Aimar, winger José Antonio Reyes, and striker David Suazo, the latter two on loan.[7] The following Summer, Costa tried to strengthen the team after a disappointing league campaign the previous season;[butuh rujukan] he signed striker Javier Saviola, attacking midfielder Ramires, and defensive midfielder Javi García, led by manager Jorge Jesus.[8][9][10][11] Benfica would win the 2009–10 Primeira Liga, the first league title since 2004–05, and the Taça da Liga that season, defeating Porto in the final.
Administration
On 14 May 2008, Costa was appointed an administrator of Benfica SAD.[12] For the 2020–24 quadrennial, he became a vice-president of the club's board of directors, as part of Luís Filipe Vieira's list for a sixth consecutive mandate.[13] After acting as interim president of the club and its SAD from 9 July 2021,[14] in the aftermath of Vieira suspending his presidency due to arrest in operation Cartão Vermelho (Red Card),[15][16] Costa was elected the 34th president of Benfica on 9 October, assuming office the following day. With 84.48% of the votes, he defeated candidate Francisco Benitez, who received 12.24%.[17][16]
During election campaign, Costa had pledged, among other promises, a forensic audit of the club's SAD (to be presented in September 2023),[18] a revision of the club's statutes (to be voted in July 2023),[18] transparency regarding football transfers, retention of players "made in Seixal", a reduction of the number of players, a maximum wage for players, and improvements to Estádio da Luz.[19]
Including his interim role, the men's football team was trophyless under his first year of presidency. Back in January 2022, Costa had said that his signature on player contracts under investigation by authorities in Cartão Vermelho did not imply he was in collusion with anyone.[20] During the 2022–23 winter transfer window, Costa promised not to release central midfielder Enzo Fernández unless a club paid the player's buyout clause,[21] but Fernández left Benfica via negotiation on 31 January 2023, with Benfica paying to "intermediary services" for the transfer.[22] After signing with Roger Schmidt, Benfica's first non-Portuguese manager since Flores, the club won the 2022–23 Primeira Liga, ending a four-year trophy wait.
Kehidupan pribadi
Costa menikah dengan Rute dari tahun 1994 hingga 2013, dan menjadi ayah dari dua putra.[23] Yang lebih tua, Filipe, terlibat dalam agen sepak bola,[24] sedangkan yang lebih muda, Hugo, adalah seorang pesepakbola.[25]
