The former coach of Olympiakos, Carlos Carvalho, will continue his career in Braga. After six months away from the sidelines, the 58-year-old manager returns to his homeland for a third term at his beloved Braga.
The Portuguese coach will replace Carlos Souza, who was dismissed following the draw against Servette in the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League and the draw in the premiere of the Portuguese championship against Estrela Amadora.
This appointment creates new scenarios regarding the case of Andre Orta. According to the Portuguese press, specifically the article from “Ojogo,” Carvalho’s return changes the dynamics for the 28-year-old midfielder.
It is emphasized that the two have a very good relationship, and this could lead Orta to remain in Braga and Portugal.
Detailed in the article from “Ojogo”:
“The case of Andre Orta could take a turn with Carvalho. He is highly valued by the coach, even though he is not an undisputed player; he always played an important role, consistently getting minutes, which helped the coach want him in Athens, at Olympiakos. In light of his unsuccessful transfer to Greece, a new framework now opens for Andre Orta under Carvalho.”
It remains to be seen how Orta’s situation will evolve, as reports from Portugal initially spoke of an agreement between Olympiakos and Braga and later… changed, stating that Mendilibar ordered the transfer not to take place.
Moreover, the president of Braga emphasized a few days ago that Braga needs… something to negotiate for Orta, that he is not a priority, but also the fact that Olympiakos’ interest is real.
