Reinaldo Ventura to take charge of the roller hockey national 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 career as a coach – will be presented on Monday at 2:30 PM in Lisbon.

The Portuguese Skating Federation (FPP) has invited the media today for the press conference to introduce the new coaching team at the headquarters of the Portuguese Olympic Committee (COP).

A source connected 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 in which the position was vacant following Paulo Freitas' departure in September 2025, when he moved to FC Porto after winning the European title in Paredes.

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

Originally from Vila Nova de Gaia, Reinaldo Ventura, aged 47, has been noted for his performance as the coach of Sanjoanense, where he debuted in 2023.

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