Ricardo Rocha becomes assistant coach Roger Schmidt, the Luz club announced. On the other hand, Javi Garcia is leaving the Reds, where he returned to begin his coaching career.
Remember that since Schmidt arrived, the structure considered it important to have someone linked to the Luz club in the technical team. The first bet was on Javi Garcia, who gave up his playing career to return to Benfica. Now the Spaniard is gone and Ricardo Rocha has arrived, who spent four and a half seasons playing with the eagle on his chest. After that, he went to England, where he spent seven seasons, which allowed him to speak English perfectly and thus interact with Roger Schmidt’s technical team.
Ricardo Rocha, now 45, will also be getting his first coaching experience in a professional team, having previously had some experience in the youth ranks of Tiersens.
