27/09/05 União de Leiria have sacked coach José Gomes after a poor start to the season. They have brought in perennial firefighter Jorge Jesus
to try to put things right. 26/09/05 Brazilian coach Paulo Bonamigo has arrived in Madeira to take over the reins of struggling Marítimo, who removed
Rui Rodrigues from the job last week. Trainer João Abel
took over for one game (a 0-1 defeat at Vitória de Guimarães) before the arrival of the new man. Bonamigo has coached Brazilian sides Atlético Mineiro, Botafogo, Paraná and Palmeiras. 20/09/05 Marítimo
have sacked coach Rui Rodrigues, better known as 'Juca', just four games into the season proper. The team has started badly, with a mere two points to show. Former União de Leiria coach Vítor Pontes
is in line to take over. José Gomes of União de Leiria, Jaime Pacheco of Vitória de Guimarães and Norton de Matos
of Vitória de Setúbal may be the next to go, the latter in a dispute with the club, the other two because of weak starts to the season. 02/09/08 Historic Porto club Salgueiros
, founded in 1911, have had to withdraw from participation in the 3rd division this season due to extreme financial difficulties. The club has also withdrawn from the Taça de Portugal, so that their
opponents in the first round, Monção, have been given a bye. |
