Bruno Alves is once again part of the Portuguese national team universe, this time as a member of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) structure. The former centre-back, 44, has left his role as technical director at Rio Ave to work directly with national team manager Jorge Jesus.
The arrival of the former international was announced by the FPF in a welcome note released this Monday, 24 August. Even so, the body did not reveal what specific duties will be assigned to Bruno Alves, who for now becomes part of the federation’s structure without an officially defined role.
Throughout his career, Bruno Alves represented clubs such as FC Porto, Zenit, Fenerbahçe, Cagliari, Rangers and Parma. Among the titles he won, the highlights include four league titles, three Portuguese Cups and three Portuguese Super Cups with FC Porto, as well as the 2016 European Championship with the national team. For Portugal’s senior team, he scored eleven goals in 96 international appearances.
