João Moura, the Sporting Director who played a key role in Marítimo’s return to the Primeira Liga, has decided to leave the club and pursue a new challenge.
According to reports, Moura has informed Marítimo of his decision. The departure is described as amicable and peaceful after a successful 18-month spell. A club statement is expected later this week.
What we know so far:
- João Moura joined Marítimo in December 2024 as Director of Football.
- He helped guide the club back to the top flight of Portuguese football.
- His exit comes after a period of stability and sporting success for the Madeiran side.
- The 36-year-old is already considering offers from clubs in Spain, Portugal, and Brazil.
Moura’s time at Marítimo has been widely praised, with many crediting his work behind the scenes for the club’s progress. Now, he’s ready to write the next chapter of his career.
This is a big move in Portuguese football circles — Moura is still young for the role and has built a strong reputation in a short space of time.
