The Minor Portuguese Data Update is out, an FMPT production made by Neves and exclusive to FMPortugal. FM27 shipped with a database locked before some big changes in Portuguese football. So this file brings the game up to date, above all in the dugouts. In other words, new managers come in, sacked ones leave and each takes his own staff with him.
There are also changes away from the dugout. The biggest is Cristiano Ronaldo’s international retirement, so he is no longer called up for Portugal.
What the Minor Portuguese Data Update changes
First, the managerial changes. In every case, the manager arrives or leaves with his staff, so clubs are not left with assistants who are no longer there:
- Paulo Fonseca takes over at Sporting, with his staff.
- Rui Borges is sacked, along with his staff.
- Carlos Carvalhal is sacked too, with his staff.
- Ricardo Silva arrives at Famalicão with his staff.
- Alexandre Santos leaves, as does his staff.
- João Henriques takes charge of Nacional, with his staff.
- Vasco Matos is sacked, together with his staff.
- Sérgio Raimundo joins Estoril with his staff.
Then there are three player changes:
- Cristiano Ronaldo retires from international football.
- Miguel Nóbrega moves to Leiria.
- Pablo Rosário gets the right number of caps.
Who is it for
It is for anyone who wants to start a career in Portugal with the dugouts as they are today. For example, if you take over Sporting, you will find Paulo Fonseca and his staff instead of the old team. It also pairs with our Portuguese competitions fix, by the same author. That way, you get the right structure and the right names at the same time.
