Lubango – Mário Soares has been appointed head coach of the Desportivo da Huíla football team, after the resignation of the former coach on Sunday due to bad results, ANGOP has learnt.

In the meantime, Mario Soares admits he has a tough job ahead, given the emotional pressure upon the team to improve performances.
"I recognize that this involves forming a cohesive skeleton, which can play equal to other sides. Since this is a team where I've worked for many years, humanization will also be one of the great weapons for a good performance", he said.
