Mário Jardel intends to open a football academy in the country

The former Brazilian striker, who arrived in Luanda this Wednesday, did not hide his satisfaction for, for the first time, stepping on Angolan soil. "I hope it's been a fruitful three days, because I came here to get to know this wonderful culture, and be able to share a little of my history and who knows, open an advanced academy with Interclube and take players to the world"

The start of the announced project is scheduled to take place in the first half of 2022, never denouncing the objective of "taking future Angolan athletes".

During the four-day visit, at the invitation of the club, Jardel held various activities, such as lectures aimed at motivating Angolan sports managers.

Jardel, 48, has twice won the golden boot at UEFA level, serving Sporting and FC Porto.
