The Football Association of the Algarve, gave this week-end, a career award to the Portuguese coach Manuel Cajuda, who is from Algarve birth and heart.The award was presented during a ceremony in which the most important names of the year of the football in the Algarve were highlighted. The initiative of the Algarve Football Association intended to make the recognition of one of the most prestigious coaches in the Portuguese football. "He is one of the most prestigious people in the Algarve, one of his most important citizens. No doubt that it is a deserved honor and that highlights one of the best coaches in the history of Portuguese football. It was with great satisfaction that the Algarve Football Association carried out the delivery of this award, because it honored a unique figure of national sport, "said José Cavaco, Director of the Football Portuguese Federation, contacted by the press office and image of Manuel Cajuda .
In this telephone contact, the Director of the Football Portuguese Federation revealed publicly what has become news in every newspaper.The name of Manuel Cajuda was on the table to succeed Carlos Queiroz as national coach: "It is true that Manuel Cajuda, like Paulo Bento, who would be chosen, and Manuel José were the names of the coaches who have been discussed by the board. This should not scare anyone, as all the coaches have enormous prestige and great value. And of course, Manuel Cajuda was one of them, because he has the ambition, the dream and has the path that always points him as one of the coaches who can serve the selection, "said José Cavaco, who was in Faro, in the last weekend to witness the delivery of the award to Manuel Cajuda.
Also according to the director of the Federation, there is only one explanation to justify the fact that Manuel Cajuda has never been appointed to be the coach of one of the "Big Three" of the Portuguese football. "Everyone knows Manuel Cajuda and knows he has his own style, which is not conventional. And people in Portugal, like very much people with the correct political style. Manuel Cajuda is on the podium of the coaches of his generation and has his place in history as one of the best ever. It is true that in recent years, he has been hampered by the way an intellectual current appeared in the Portuguese football, which almost wiped out with coches of the Manuel Cajuda generation. Fortunately, this is passing by, as exemplified by Paulo Bento, who is a former practitioner, such as Manuel Cajuda was in his time. But regardless of what is still reserved for Manuel Cajuda as coach, I believe that he will still be extremely useful for the Portuguese football, in the way he can project a sense of quality in work, "said, finally, José Cavaco.
