José Faria, the coach, made it clear. His squad for the new season is still taking shape. He said this after a friendly game against Belenenses on Tuesday. It seems there’s still work to do behind the scenes before everything is settled.
A big part of this ongoing work involves the defense. The team recently saw Ferro leave. He’s heading over to Estoril, which opens up a spot. On top of that, there’s been some tough luck. Ni Rodrigues, a new player who just arrived from Académica, suffered a foot fracture. This serious injury will keep him off the field for the next two to three months. Because of these changes, Estrela da Amadora is now actively looking for a new central defender.
But the search isn’t just for a defender. Word around the game, as confirmed by our colleagues at Record, is that the club also wants another midfielder. This addition would give Coach Faria more choices in the middle of the park. Having more options means the team can adapt better to different challenges during games.
The club’s management has a clear idea for these new signings. They aren’t just looking for anyone to fill a spot. For both the defender and the midfielder, they want to bring in young players. These are athletes who show real promise and have plenty of room to grow and improve. This plan aligns with the type of talent they’ve been bringing to Reboleira lately.
