About a week before the official start of the season, Pepa leaves V. Guimarães. The coach says goodbye to the club a year after joining Minho.
The 41-year-old coach had two more years on his contract, but incompatibilities with the Victorian SAD led to a breakup between both sides. The club’s performance in this transfer market fell short of Pepa’s expectations, which ultimately played a big role in that outcome. The coach, on the other hand, was unhappy with the fact that he had lost Roshinho, as he was taken by surprise by the captain’s move to Sporting.
However, Vitoria issued a statement regarding the situation. “Vitoria Sport Clube informs that coach Pepa and his assistants have been suspended from the technical team of the main football team, whose leadership will be handed over to Moreno Teixeira with immediate and permanent effect. Moreno Teixeira commanded the Victorian B team and will lead the first team this Wednesday in the pre-game against SCU Torreense. The press conference is scheduled for tomorrow at 2:00 pm at the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques press center” could be read.
Vitoria starts the season on 21 July against Puskas Academy in a game that counts towards the 2nd qualifying round of the Conference League.
