Promoted to Ligue I, Santa Clara may enter the Third Division – Sports

Santa Clara is involved in a case that could lead to the relegation of the club to the Portuguese league.

The Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation filed a lawsuit against the Azoreans because the club did not present a coach with the necessary qualifications to guide the team in League II.

Coach Carlos Pinto, (has finally left the club and now guides Académica) who managed to ride Santa Clara to the league, only held the second level of the coaching course.

This scenario could benefit the academician from Viseu (ranked 3rd), who rose to 2nd place and was thus promoted to the first stage.

At the bottom of the table, things can also change. With the loss of 30 points, Santa Clara was 36 (66), in 18th place. This would allow the Union of Madeira to leave the relegation zone, climbing to 16th place (overtaking Sp. Braga B, who went down to the third level) with 47 points and would still be rewarded with the victory over the club. Azores.

The process is under development and Santa Clara is still in preparation for the new season in the League. This Saturday, the team now guided by João Henriques went to the Braga Municipal Stadium to lose to Braga by 2 to 1.
