Ferreira finalizes agreement for Cesar Peixoto’s return

Talks have had their ups and downs over the past few days, but now there seems to be harmony, and Cesar Peixoto is preparing to (re)take over the leadership of the Paços de Ferreira.

Thus, the coach returns to the position he left on October 16, after eliminating the Portuguese Cup, against Vitória de Setubal, and only two points in the league, in nine rounds.

Jose Mota took over, returning to the club with which he had been in contact for more than 20 years (first as a player, then as an assistant, then as a head coach), but this time he stayed for only seven matches. They lost five matches and drew twice in the League Cup.

As soon as Motta left, in mid-December, the idea of ​​Cesare Peixoto returning came. President Paulo Meneses went so far as to say, in the General Assembly, that it was a mistake to dispense with this coach, assuming some managerial failures in pre-season.

After the first talks, Cesare Peixoto was left with doubts that the terms of the return had been met. On the one hand, if he wanted to correct the campaign he had started in Mata Real, on the other hand, he wanted guarantees that he would be able to do it. In the summer market, for example, the technician felt that the most requested reinforcements arrived late.

At one point, César Peixoto’s return seemed out of the question, but the team held an important position. The most influential players pushed the coach back. Even some of the reinforcements at the entrance to Mata Real showed their desire to work with Peixoto.

Having said that, the board of directors from Pacense and the technician spoke again, and this weekend they reached a consensus on such a return, based on the changes discussed together, in order to avoid mistakes made in the past.

to what More Find out, Cesar Peixoto should (re) take over on Monday. A fairly common situation in Italian football, for example, but not so common in Portugal.
