Dia de Jogo — jornal desportivo11 September 2026 at 16:50

Alexandre Santos is the new coach of Nacional and will make his debut in charge of the team in a match against Alverca. This is the coach's first opportunity to showcase his work at the club.

The new coach acknowledges that he will not be able to make major changes to the team, as he has only had one week to work with the players. This limited time did not allow him to implement all his tactical ideas.

Santos considers it essential that Nacional earns points in this debut match. The goal is to start with positive results to gain confidence and stability in the league standings.

The match between Nacional and Alverca thus marks the beginning of a new sporting project, with expectations that the team will be able to achieve immediate results.
