Botafogo and Coach Artur Jorge Mutually Agree to‌ Part Ways

Brazilian ⁤football club Botafogo ‌announced late Friday the mutual termination of its contract with head coach Artur Jorge. The⁢ move concludes a highly successful period ‌for the club under Jorge’s leadership, a run ‌that culminated in historic victories.

In an official statement, Botafogo expressed gratitude for Jorge’s contributions: “Botafogo ‍and⁣ Artur Jorge‌ mutually ⁢agreed to terminate the employment contract, including⁣ that of his technical⁢ staff. The club thanks the professional ⁣for the achievements accomplished in winning the Libertadores ⁤and brasileirão⁣ in 2024.”

the club also confirmed that a new coaching staff will be announced shortly. “The new ‌technical committee will be⁤ announced soon,” the statement added.

This ⁤progress confirms earlier ⁣reports, suggesting that Botafogo will not be receiving⁤ the full amount of Jorge’s termination clause (reportedly close to €3⁤ million).⁢ However, the club substantially reduces its ⁣financial obligations by avoiding paying⁤ out substantial prize money owed to ‍the‌ coach. This strategic move comes after a season that saw Botafogo achieve unprecedented success, winning ‍the Copa Libertadores and the Brasileirão championship after ⁣a 29-year drought.

Reports indicate that Artur Jorge’s⁢ next destination might potentially be Al-Rayyan in Qatar.This move ⁣would represent a significant change of scenery for the ‍highly sought-after coach.

Prior to his time at Botafogo, Jorge served as coach for Sporting de Braga, where he managed various teams, including the⁤ main ‍squad, under-23, B team, and junior teams. The⁣ 53-year-old coach and former player also boasts ⁣experience with Limianos and ‌Tirsense.

The departure of Artur Jorge marks a significant turning point⁤ for Botafogo, as the club looks to build on its recent successes under new ‍leadership. The search for a replacement is expected to‌ generate considerable interest within the football world.
