Costinha stated confidence in the team’s future. He hopes the current season will match or surpass the previous one’s achievements.
He highlighted the prior season as “incredible,” both on and off the field. That period saw the club win a domestic double and compete in European competitions.
Costinha is currently in his second season with Olympiacos, having transferred from Rio Ave. He spent four seasons with the Portuguese club before moving to Greece for the 2024/25 season.
Olympiacos currently features four other Portuguese players: Chiquinho, Diogo Nascimento, Gelson Martins, and Daniel Podence.
