Estrela da Amadora has officially confirmed the departure of Cristiano Bacci, who managed the team in three games during the 2025/26 season, achieving two draws and one loss. Despite the modest performance, Bacci managed to secure Estrela's place in the Primeira Liga. Now, the club is turning its attention to the next season and is already searching for a new head coach. Pepa, former coach of Sport Recife, is the frontrunner to take over the team for the 2026/27 season. With a solid career, Pepa has previously managed several clubs, including Sanjoanense, Moreirense, Tondela, and Paços de Ferreira. The expectation is that Estrela da Amadora will make a choice that can lead the team to a more competitive performance next season.
