Coach João Gião was the first coach to be dismissed in the Portuguese League in the 2026/27 season. The coach led the Nacional da Madeira team for only four rounds of the championship.
João Gião's dismissal marks the beginning of a season that promises to be marked by great instability on the benches. The coach failed to achieve the desired results in the first four matches of the League, which led the Nacional board to decide to replace the coach.
Nacional, a Madeiran team in the Portuguese League, faced difficulties at the start of the new season. The lack of results in those initial matches prompted the club's management to make a change in the coaching position.
This early dismissal opens the way for a new coach to take charge of the island team, who will try to reverse the poor start to the season in the Portuguese League.
