March 18, (THEWILL) – Fulham’s first-team coach, Luis Boa Morte, will depart the English Premier League club at the end of the 2023/2024 season to take over as the manager of the Guinea-Bissau national team. The announcement came from Fulham on Monday.
The 46-year-old Portuguese has been part of Marco Silva’s coaching staff since 2021, following a successful playing career that included stints at Fulham, Arsenal, Southampton, and West Ham United. During his time as a player at Craven Cottage between 2000 and 2007, Boa Morte scored 54 goals in 250 appearances for the club.
Fulham expressed their gratitude for his contributions since his return, wishing him the best in his new role with the Guinea-Bissau national team. The former forward’s final game with the London club will be the EPL season finale against Luton Town.
Boa Morte’s appointment as the Guinea-Bissau manager marks a significant step in his coaching career, as he takes charge of an international side aiming to make their mark on the global stage. His experience and knowledge of the game are expected to provide valuable guidance to the West African nation’s players.
