Alverca will start its pre-season on July 1, preparing for its seventh season in the Primeira Liga. After finishing last season in 11th place, the team from Ribatejo aims to improve its performance in the upcoming season. The preparation begins about a month and a half after the 0-1 defeat against Famalicão, which was the last game under the management of Custódio Castro. The coach, who celebrates his 43rd birthday today, announced his departure the day before the match against Famalicão. Although Alverca has not yet officially confirmed Custódio Castro's exit, the team is already preparing for succession. The club's social media acknowledged the coach's birthday, showing appreciation for his contributions throughout the season.
