(Reuters) - Portuguese club Santa Clara have extended the contract of their manager Vasco Matos until 2027, they said on Wednesday, after a deal for him to join Brazilian champions Botafogo fell through due to a coaching license debacle.
Matos, who led Santa Clara to Portugal's second division title last year and to fifth in the top-flight standings, reached an agreement with Botafogo on Monday. He was set to replace his compatriot Artur Jorge who joined Qatar's Al-Rayyan in December after guiding the Brazilian club to the league and Copa Libertadores double.
