Thursday was Lito's first day as coach of União de Leiria, taking over from Manuel Fenrandes, who moved to Vitória de Setúbal. Lito's previous club, Liga de Honra (second tier) side
Portimonense of the Algarve, have sent a complaint to the Liga, claiming poaching by União and breach of contract by the coach. In turn, Lito's story is that he terminated his contract with just cause as
he had salary payments that were overdue. Luís Carvalha (nicknamed 'Litos') takes over at Portimonense.
