The story continues | Hélder Castro in charge

There are new chapters to be written, and it will be Hélder Castro who leads our first team in the Campeonato de Portugal.

As a player, he competed at every level of Portuguese football. As a coach, in a short space of time he became accustomed to winning, reaching ambitious goals and building competitive, successful teams.

After fulfilling with distinction the objectives he set himself in the Campeonato de Portugal last season, he accepted the difficult challenge of taking charge of Olympiakos Nicosia, in the Cypriot First Division, where he secured an important survival, picking up three wins in four matches.

He now arrives in Ovar to lead an ambitious squad that will have quality, experience and hunger to keep on growing. A team that will honour the competitive DNA of Ovarense and that will take to the pitch with the same mentality that has brought us this far: approaching every game with the ambition to win all three points.

He is joined by an experienced backroom staff, ready for the challenges that lie ahead:

  • Assistant Coach: Ludovic Pereira
  • Assistant Coach: Henrique Nogueira
  • Fitness Coach / Analyst: Tiago Silva
  • Goalkeeping Coach: Nélson Maia

The Campeonato de Portugal represents a new challenge, new opponents and a new level of demand. We are ready to compete, to grow and to keep showing the strength of Ovar with every matchday.

Welcome, Mister.
