Fleeting tenure
Belenenses have managed just two points from five matches since Brazilian Mior was installed in the helm during summer and the Lisbon outfit released a statement yesterday confirming: "After a meeting today we have decided to change the coaching staff." It brings a premature end to 50-year-old Mior's second spell in Portugal having coached CD Nacional between 2003 and 2005, and his assistant José Dominguez and physio Márcio Correa have also been dismissed. Diamantino Figueiredo and Romeu Almeida will lead the team until a permanent replacement is announced.
