Coach Pedro Gonçalves ends contract with FAF

Luanda – The national team’s head-coach, Pedro Gonçalves, ends this Tuesday his contractual tie with the Angolan Football Federation (FAF), two years after being hired to replace the Serbian Srdjan Vasilevic.

Since 2019 at the helm of the Angolan National Team “Palancas Negras” (Sable Antelopes), the Portuguese coach guided the squad in 14 games, with five wins seven defeats and two draws.

However, the national team conceded 15 goals and scored 15 goals as well, two of which in the recent 2-2 draw with Egypt, in a group F game, played at 11 de Novembro Stadium, in Luanda, qualifier for the 2022 World Cup, in Qatar.

Head Coach Pedro Manuel will manage the Angolan team for the last time this afternoon (2 pm) in the game with Libya, in Bengazhi, to close the group stage of the World Cup race, in a match whose result, even a win, no longer helps Angola to qualify for the next stage.
