  1. @BrunoMEspalha And Vítor Pereira will go to Olympiakos, exatamente!
  2. Still no developments with the Liga's imminent coaching musical chairs. Change in store at Braga, Porto & Olhanense, or so say reports...
  3. So Guimarães, Braga (Artur Jorge) & Marítimo (José Barros) all have coaches for the B teams; as yet none of the grandes do.
  4. 2012/13 Guimarães B team has a coach: Luiz Filipe, who returns to the club from Al Nassr. Brazilian was part of youth setup between 04-10.
  5. @ChrisAllen45 @portugoaldotnet Not confirmed, but it will be. Conceição favourite. Don't think AVB would coach a Liga club that isn't Porto.
  6. @luis_cristovao @cynegeticus Just scanning the squads; most of those Brazilians were in Portugal at one point. Orestes was OK at Naval..
  7. @luis_cristovao Hmm...
  8. Also José Costa coaching Sanat Naft Abadan as well, completely forgot about him. Closely linked with national team coach Carlos Queiroz.
  9. They aren't the only Portuguese players in Iran's top division, mind - the Paixão brothers (Marco & Flávio) are at Naft Tehran & Tractor.
  10. Surely the most random transfers of the summer: free agents João Vilela & Anselmo leave G.Vicente & Nacional for...Iran's Tractor Club. Yep.
  11. Still no official announcement from Braga on Leonardo Jardim, but everywhere reporting that he's a goner.
  12. @JoaoFFVaz Concordo - aqui: goo.gl/oXuZk
  13. Record are reporting that Leonardo Jardim has left Braga...
  14. Eric Dier: "I’ll be back there [Sporting] for pre-season and we’ll see what happens." goo.gl/jbGO1
  15. @antoniomrocha If there was somewhere I could lay money on this sort of thing...
  16. @davidjaca @myrla_cat @kierancanning Big time. It's deeply boring as well... #hatethesummer
  17. Salvador returned to Portugal from Moçambique to sort this out, & going by press reports Jardim could be on his way out of Braga. Madness.
  18. At the heart of this is an interview that Jardim gave to O Jogo, in which he (apparently) spoke too freely about the club's inner workings.
