6月18日 Former Benfica coach, the Italian Giovanni Trapattoni, has signed a two-year deal with German club Stuttgart, who have Portuguese international Fernando Meira in their ranks. The move is something of a surprise since Trapattoni claimed the reason for leaving Portugal was to be with his family. Benfica will plan the new season in Nyon, Switzerland, as they have done in recent years. They will be there from 6 to 14 July, with two friendlies organised for 10 July (Sion) and 13 (Etoile Carouge). Former Boavista captain Martelinho is claiming 140,000 euros from the club in unpaid salary and bonuses stretching back to the 2001/02 season. If the club do not pay up, they may be prohibited from signing any new players for the upcoming season. (！！！) 6月20日 Taca de Portugal (葡萄牙盃) winners Vitoria de Setubal will meet Spain's Real Betis, winners of the Taca del Rei (國王盃), in the first edition of the Taca Iberica, to be played in Ayamonte on 28 July. The winners of this Taca will go into the Final of the Torneio Internacional do Guadiana, to be played in the Estadio do Algarve on 30 July, and will face the winners of Sporting Lisbon vs Middlesbro. 6月22日 If all goes to plan, Benfica will have their own cable TV channel as from September. The club hopes to earn 1.5 million euros a year from the channel. Sporting are about to close a joint sponsorship deal that will net the club 34 million euros over the next five years. Three of the sponsors are thought to be EDP (energy company), PT (Portugal Telecom) and BES (Banco Espírito Santo). They will have their names placed at strategic points around Alvalade XXI Stadium and at the training complex (the Academia). The different stands in the stadium will be sponsored by the companies, as happens now at Benfica's Luz. --
