Former Portuguese national team defender Costa collapsed at the club's training ground on Tuesday morning. He was rushed to the hospital. He was pronounced dead there. He spent most of his playing career at Porto and during that time he won 8 league titles.

Costa captained Porto to win the European Champions League under Jose Mourinho in 2004. He won 50 caps for Portugal. He was also a member of the Portuguese golden team that won the U-20 World Cup in 1991 along with Luis Figo.
