O coach, who had taken office after the departure of Carlos Carvalhal, deserved the trust of the famalicense administration, after a period in which he managed to ensure the first qualification of the club's history for the final four of the League Cup.
The decision represents a bet on the continuity and knowledge of the structure of the Famalicão, club to which Ricardo Silva maintains a long connection, having passed through the formation echelons and represented the main team, of which he was one of the captains in the historic rise to the I Liga.
In the season 2021/22, he returned to the minhoto emblem to join the main technical team, as assistant coach, functions he performed until he was called to take on the temporary command of the formation of Famalicense.
In a statement, SAD highlighted the “professionalism and competence” demonstrated by Ricardo Silva, considering that the coach fulfilled “with distinction” the challenge of guiding the team in the last four meetings, a period marked by the unprecedented clearance for the decisive phase of the League Cup.
The technical team led by Ricardo Silva will be composed by Tiago Fonseca, Gilberto Freitas, José Mendonça, Pedro Abreu and Rafael Defendi.
