Botafogo name Artur Jorge's former assistant as new manager | OneFootball

Botafogo announced this Thursday the appointment of head coach Franclim Carvalho, who takes over the position left vacant by Martín Anselmi. The Portuguese coach signed with Glorioso until the end of 2027 and is expected in Rio de Janeiro to begin work with the first team.

Franclim Carvalho will return to represent Botafogo. A member of Artur Jorge’s coaching staff during the manager’s spell at the club in 2024 — now at Cruzeiro —, he now returns to take charge of Glorioso. Formerly an assistant, Franclim now steps into the role of the team’s head coach.

Alongside Franclim Carvalho, assistants Luis Felipe and Luís Viegas are also joining Botafogo, as well as fitness coach Fábio Monteiro and goalkeeping coach Ricardo Matos.

This will not be Franclim’s first experience as a head coach. In 2022, he had the opportunity to manage Belenenses, a club where he had previously worked as an assistant. On that occasion, he remained in charge for 18 matches, recording three wins, six draws, and nine defeats.
