ESTEBAN MOURA



This Charasmatic Portuguese Citizen was born 22nd December 1980 making him 31 years of age.


Since the tender age of 3 he has always had a love for football, and would play everyday rain or shine.
When Esteban was 13 he signed for the Maritimo youth side and played through his teenage years and up to the age of 22 for the club,making 60 competitive appearances for the club in the Portuguese league.He then earned himself a move to Braga at 22, he would play European football and better himself working with top players.
He played for Braga from 22 to 28 years of age, making 9 appearances for the Portuguese national team, all be it 5 of them were friendlies.

At the age of 28 he was diagnosed with a heart condition which forced him to take a back seat, he put his love for the sport into coaching youth football,
working with the Braga youth team developing players.

Esteban was now 31 and had been working with the youth setup at Braga since 28, he was well known and well liked.
Over the years he grew more and more confident in his ability to teach, and coach players, maybe management was for him, but he didnt want to leave Braga and go to a third division team, that would be a harsh reality check!!
Esteban had a good life, he was single and like any man, loved the freedom, he also was given a batchelor pad in the heart of Braga by the club as a perk for all coaches...why give up that?


The Braga board approached Esteban on Tuesday morning after training and informed him there was a board meeting that he was to attend at 5pm.


"I walked into the board room, at a quick glance there were 10 well suited men around the table...i felt like a criminal, all eyes on me! I took a seat at the end of the table and we began talking."

Board
Esteban as a club we feel we are stuck in a rut and need to get out, we are looking for a younger manager to breath some life into this club, we would like you to take the club forward as manager, the only glitch is we cannot pay you for the first 6 months of your reign...what do you think?
Moura
"Well im a little speechless...this is a shock, and to be honest i dont need time to think this over, its a YES. I love this club after working here for a number of years and i accept not being paid for a while if this can get me into management!!"

Great news...we will get the papers all written up and sign them in a few days once we have finalised everything on our side.
The boy becomes a man.....

A BRAGA STORY :D

good good, i hope to do well with them!!
I will be writing from now on in 1st person as the story is mainly about the manager.


"I took charge of the club for the first time, training was going well, we have a light training session working on passing exercises and triangle work which will help us keep the ball...Alan & Hugo Viana really stood out as quality ball players."

Training finished early, 1pm to be precise, i made my way to MY office, this was exciting!! I began contacting clubs and managers & chairmen about the availability of their players."
"I was struggling to obtain any interest from clubs with players available....but then!!

My Secretary opened the door, not even knocking...he said Este, Mourinho is on the phone i will put him through...line 3!!

Afternoon...the voice at the end of the phone was instantly recognisable, i shivered from head to toe!! Afternoon i replied.
I want to congratulate you on your appointment at Braga, i wish you every success...

Wow i thought to myself, Mourinho doesnt go out of his way like this usually!!

We started talking about signings, he asked how i was getting on and i replied, " I am struggling".
Then Mourinho let slip that Ricardo Carvalho was looking to come back to Portugal for one more club before retiring, and would i be interested? Ofcourse, i jumped at the chance and reiterated to him that we werent made of money!! He offered Ricardo there and then for £500k.
We agreed the deal in principal over the phone there and then.
He would make sure Ricardo contacted me and we would take it from there.
End of transfer window

Ricardo Carvalho - Real Madrid £500K
Paulo Ferreira - Chelsea £200k

2 quality signings, both being Portuguese will fit in well and maybe take a coaching role.
Maybe Carvalho can be my assistant manager along this journey story.

I am trying to push through this first Braga season and see what happens so sorry for lack of results....

Chelsea sack Benitez as Chelsea are lying in 17th place after 16 games!!!! Torres,Mata,Cahill,Lampard are up for sale as they want to leave. What a project that would be if they accepted my CV????

Is it too soon to pick up a fallen giant?
4 games left this season,

Braga lie in 5th position in the Portuguese League.

Braga have reached the EURO Cup Final Vs Bordeaux.

Braga overcame Marseille & Tottenham to reach the final!!!

Could this be Estebans big send off??





Once this season has finished i will write more frequently etc. Just want to get that big move.
