Coach João Gião is no longer the technical director of Nacional, as reported by the sports newspaper "Record". The decision to dismiss the coach was made by the club's president, Rui Alves, following the team's home defeat by 2-3 against Estrela da Amadora, on Sunday. This defeat is said to have been the determining factor for João Gião's departure from the technical command of the Madeiran team. Custódio Castro is pointed out as the probable successor to the position, with the new coach having coached Alverca in the previous season.
