Casa Pia has just announced the hiring of Filipe Coelho as head coach. Coelho left Strasbourg, where he was an assistant, to take the reins of the Portuguese team.

Who is Filipe Coelho?

Filipe Coelho has experience working with young talents, having passed through SL Benfica, Estoril, and Chelsea.

Why did he choose Casa Pia?

In an interview with A Bola, Coelho revealed that he didn't follow Liam Rosenior to Chelsea due to his family's adaptation in France. Now, Coelho takes on the challenge of commanding Casa Pia, which is currently 16th in the Primeira Liga, with 30 points, and a 58-point difference from leader FC Porto.

What's next?

Casa Pia seeks to improve its performance, after a recent sequence of results with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in the last 5 games. The last result was a 2-0 win over Torreense, on May 28, 2026. The team has 31 goals scored and 57 conceded, with a -26 goal difference. With Coelho's arrival, Casa Pia seeks to reverse this situation and improve its position in the table.
