There was no agreement for Daniel Sousa and, as such, António Salvador opted for an internal solution to end the season, as explained in a timely manner for the zero zero. Artur Jorge went to Botafogo.
The people from Braga held talks with Arouca so they could now count on the coach they wanted, but the people from Arouca were intransigent and asked for one million euros to release Daniel Sousa. A value that, two months before the end of the coach’s contract, was considered very inappropriate by SAD Minho.
Thus, and with the priority target available after the end of the championship, António Salvador decided on an alternative solution and looked at home.
Also as initially written by zero zeroCustódio would not welcome being a transitional option, especially because he is involved in the fight for promotion in League 3.
Therefore, Rui Duarte, whose season is practically over in the Liga Revelação, leaves the under-23 team and takes over the role. Former professional player, with many years in the first division, the 45-year-old coach was head coach of Farense, Casa Pia and Trofense, before joining SC Braga. In addition to the under-23 team, he was also the commander in their participation in the Youth League, in which the club was eliminated in the round of 16 against Milan.
