Brazilian Serie: Portuguese manager Artur Jorge is set to leave Braga to take charge of Brazilian Serie A club Botafogo, according to widespread media reports in the South American country. Jorge has agreed to personal terms with Botafogo and is due to arrive in Rio de Janeiro to sign a contract on Tuesday, according to Globo Esporte.
It added that Botafogo had agreed to pay Braga two million euros (about 2.16 million U.S. dollars) after negotiating down the coach's 10-million-euro release clause, reports Xinhua.
Jorge will replace Fabio Matias, who assumed Botafogo's managerial job on an interim basis following the sacking of Tiago Nunes in February. The 52-year-old is in his second season at the helm of Braga, who are currently fourth in Portugal's top flight.
