Carvalhal defects to Beira-Mar

Portuguese club SC Beira-Mar have appointed former SC Braga boss Carlos Carvalhal as their new coach, replacing Augusto Inácio who left to manage Ionikos FC.

Musical chairs
The 40-year-old Carvalhal quit the hot seat at Braga on Wednesday after only six months in charge of the UEFA Cup challengers, citing personal reasons. However, 48 hours later, he has assumed control of a team sitting third from bottom in the Liga. Braga, meanwhile, remain managerless.
