I believe Benfica have hit hard times and have slipped dramatically down the Portugese leagues…..anyone know anything about that?

Are you thinking of Boavista?

Or maybe Bellenenses? They're in Lisbon too. Saw them a year or so back against Varzim dreadful match one shot on target between them.

We were going to a Sporting game but it got moved to a Monday so went to Bellenenses instead.

I gather Lisbon is good for a groundhopping weekend.

Estoril is in the area, you could go there and watch our future midfield star.

Our saviour.

It’s a real shame, but they will probably reappear in some other guise. I don’t think it’s that rare in Italy. 

Reading this thread prompted me to look up Parma FC. Currently in their fourth iteration, and they've already gone bust and been reborn twice this century! Like the Trigger"s Broom of football clubs.

So I suspect you're right and Brescia will be back.

Union Brescia formed last year, play in the same colours as Brescia did, play at the same stadium as Brescia did and their manager is an ex-Brescia player and manager.

So despite the new name, they're pretty much already back.
