Arthur Jorge “microscope” entered the edge of the seat

Olympiacos is awaiting Spaniard Antonio Cordon’s response to the position of sports director, while the French added a few hours ago their compatriot Julien Fournier, with whom the red and whites were away from the agreement in August 2022.

The developments related to the appointment of a technical director at Olympiacos make sense and then have a direct impact on the technical director. Because, if Cordon agrees to the proposal of Piraeus BAE, he will be the one who will immediately manage the case for the new coach, because something similar will apply to Fournier.

Olympiacos continues to communicate

However, this does not mean that red and white stopped everything. They keep in touch with the coaches because they want to be prepared in case something doesn’t work out with Cordon or Fournier.

After all, we must not forget that the Olympiacos management has had contacts and meetings in the past month and a half with Gattuso and Schroeder and frequent discussions with Rembrov.

There were also connections with Crespo, while Rudy Garcia, Martines and Farioli were considered.

Arthur George sparked interest

According to the information, another technician interested Olympiacos, Artur Jorge, who is on the bench in Braga. The Portuguese coach is under contract with Arsenal until June 2024 and there is already a lot of buzz in his home country surrounding his name.

The 51-year-old has broken a number of records for Braga this season and is now close to guiding them to the Champions League third qualifying round. Thus, it is not an easy case, on the one hand, because he is bound by a contract that is said to include a final buyout, and on the other hand because he is under the “microscope” of other teams.

There is also the added difficulty of completing his duties in two and a half weeks, as Baga faces Porto in the Portuguese Cup final on Sunday 4 June.

Jorge scored with Braga

Braga, under the guidance of Artur Jorge, achieved the best league turn in its history, breaking the record for wins in a single season in all competitions (34) and already equaling the record for wins in the league (24) and with it. More to go into two matches, which he achieved in the 2017-18 season, led by Abel Ferreira. At the same time, he is close to breaking other records in the history of Braga, such as the most goals scored and the most points scored in a single season.

Also, if Braga finishes third in the league, it will be only the third time in their history that they have done so. Arsenal is currently four points ahead of fourth-placed Sporting Lisbon, five points behind second-placed Porto and nine points behind leaders Benfica.

All these two games before the end of the season. With Braga facing Boavista on Saturday (20/5) and Pasos Ferreira in the final on Sunday (28/5).

Artur Jorge Torres Gómez Araujo Amorim, as his full name is, was born in Braga and there he had a great career as a footballer and has now raised his “stocks” as a coach. He started his coaching career from Famalicao (2009-10), also worked in Braga’s minor teams (B, U23, U19, U15) and took over the first team in the summer of 2022, succeeding Carlos Carvalhal (current coach of Telta). Since then, in 50 matches for Braga in all competitions, he has recorded 35 wins, four draws and 11 losses.

Of course, in everything related to Olympiacos, the question of the coach is directly related to the question of the head coach. Because the direction to be taken, for example, with the Spanish Cordon and the other with the French Fournier, or the Italian sports director, could be different.
