Reinaldo Ventura to take charge of the national roller hockey team | OneFootball

At 47 years old, the former player of FC Porto, Óquei de Barcelos, and the Italian teams Viareggio and Trisino, who ended his career at Juventude de Viana – the club where he began his journey as a coach – will be presented on Monday at 2:30 p.m. in Lisbon.

The Portuguese Skating Federation (FPP) today called on the media for the press conference to present the new coaching staff, at the headquarters of the Portuguese Olympic Committee (COP).

A source close to the process told Lusa that the former international is expected to sign a three-year contract with the FPP, taking over the leadership of the national team after several months during which the position remained vacant following the departure of Paulo Freitas in September 2025, when he moved to FC Porto after winning the European title in Paredes.

In the new technical structure, Reinaldo Ventura will be joined by Marco Lopes and Hugo Silva, the latter also accompanying him in his work at the helm of Sanjoanense.

Born in Vila Nova de Gaia, Reinaldo Ventura, 47, has stood out for his performance as coach of Sanjoanense, where he made his debut in 2023.

In his first season, he secured promotion to the first division and, in the following season, led the club to the play-offs and a return to European competitions.
