Santa Clara has just announced the appointment of Jorge Simão as new manager. The Portuguese coach will return to action after having led Paços de Ferreira in 2021/2022. Jorge Simão will succeed Mário Silva, who left the technical command of Santa Clara after the home defeat to SC Braga by 4-0. This was the sixth game without a win for the Azoreans. Looking back, the results were not favorable, with three defeats and a draw for the League Cup. Jorge Simão will be back on the bench after having represented Paços de Ferreira last season. He will sign a contract valid until the end of the current season. Vasco Seabra was approached by Santa Clara to take over the technical command, but he did not accept the invitation. Jorge Simão has the opportunity to change the team's course. So, it is important that he can motivate the players. The team needs a win to regain confidence. But, it won't be easy, as Santa Clara faces strong competition in the Portuguese League.
