A substitution is on the cards for Gil Vicente: César Peixoto out, Luís Pinto in. Not on the pitch, but in the dugout.
The scenario has been unfolding for several days, and A BOLA can now confirm that negotiations are in their final stages. Almost everything is settled regarding César Peixoto's move to Wolverhampton, and Luís Pinto's signing is all but confirmed. All deals are expected to be finalized this week. Once the respective contracts are signed, the Gilistas will officially announce Peixoto's sale to the English club, followed immediately by the announcement of Luís Pinto's arrival.
While negotiations with the Wolves have been ongoing for some time, talks with Luís Pinto only began late last week, as exclusively reported by A BOLA.
At this point, with only a few minor details left to iron out, it appears the board, led by Rui Silva, is on the verge of securing Luís Pinto's services. It's a matter of days. Or perhaps even... hours.
