Guimarães ‘deeply indignant’ at organizational change hurting Moreno – F. Guimarães

The club speaks of “strangely discriminatory treatment of the bodies that run Portuguese football”.

Khamira Guimarães issued a statement this evening in response to the news of the organizational change, approved at the Extraordinary General Assembly of the League, which harms coach Moreno and prevents him from registering as head coach.

The Guimarães motto recognizes the vote in favor of the exception that allows coaches such as Luís Freire and Filipe Martins to register as head coaches for having promoted clubs to the first league and remaining serving, in this case, Rio Ave and Casa Pia. But he says he is “deeply outraged by the insensitivity of the League and the ANTF with regard to Moreno Teixeira”.

The Vitória coach has not promoted any team to the first league and is attending the fourth level tournament, but his case is not covered by the regulations. “Moreno is on the sidelines,” Vitória reinforces. And the statement issued this evening stated, “Vitoria Club records and regrets this strange discriminatory treatment by the bodies that manage Portuguese football, and we will not abandon denouncing and fighting this kind of injustice.”

Full announcement:

“At the league’s general assembly held on Monday, the clubs passed a rule according to which a coach who promoted a division team last season and who was already registered in a fourth-level tournament will be considered head coach for the next season. Felipe Martins, coach of Casa Pia, and Luis Freire, coach of Rio, will be considered Ave, and Vitoria Sport Club even voted for Moreno Teixeira. As is well known, our coach is in a very similar situation, having already registered and attended a fourth level tournament. However, in light of the regulation already approved for 2023/24 and for the simple fact that the link to promotion The team, as if it were more important than being in charge of Vitória SC, one of the main Portuguese clubs, with more presence in the first division, with a great national and international history and which will represent Portugal, for the second season in a row, in UEFA competition, Moreno is left out .

We are talking about a former player in Vitoria, as is known, who built a great career and played at the highest level, always worked with coaches of great value, and did not stop communicating with football after he finished his professional career. . As a young coach, he has no shortage of experience and knowledge: obviously linked to a largely positive season in Vitoria, he has been in charge of showing Silton Bayi, Thomas Handel, Zé Carlos, Dani Silva, Andre Almeida and Andre Amaro. , Maga, Afonso Freitas and Hélder Sá, among other young Portuguese internationals, he never hid his desire to develop as a coach, which is why he tried to enroll in a fourth level course as soon as the opportunity arose, with the full support of our club.

Once again, Vitória SC records and deplores this bizarre discriminatory treatment by the bodies that run Portuguese football and will not give up on denouncing and fighting this kind of injustice in the hope that common sense will prevail, once and for all. Moreover, we will always support the approval of rules that make life easier for football professionals, namely Portuguese coaches.
