Strasbourg Appoint Hugo Oliveira as New Head Coach

Strasbourg have officially named Hugo Oliveira as their new head coach, bringing in the 41-year-old Portuguese manager to lead the club’s ambitious project. The club highlighted Oliveira’s modern, attacking philosophy built on ball control, high pressing, and a desire to dominate games — traits that fit Strasbourg’s recent shift toward a younger, more dynamic squad. “It’s an honor to be here in Strasbourg and to join such a beautiful project where history and ambition come together. I want to bring emotions, create memories, and give everything I have to help the club keep growing,” Oliveira said after putting pen to paper. Oliveira arrives after a standout spell at Famalicão, where he guided the Portuguese side to a fifth-place finish in the Primeira Liga — their best ever league result. Prior to going solo, he spent seven years as Marco Silva’s assistant at Fulham, Everton, Hull City, and Watford.
