Former Swansea and Sheffield Wednesday manager attacked outside home

One former Swansea City and Sheffield Wednesday manager has been attacked outside home according to reports emerging on Tuesday afternoon.

Carlos Carvalhal was unfortunately the target of an attempted robbery on his way from Madeira to his home in Braga on Monday.

The Rio Ave manager thankfully managed to escape with just ‘cuts and bruises but nothing serious’, as police were called to the scene.

He said: “As I was travelling back to my house in Braga from Madeira yesterday, I was attacked by three hooded individuals at around 2.15am.

“My natural instinct was to put up a fight – that was perhaps a risky decision – and with the help of my son, José Carlos, we managed to get out of the situation. We have a few cuts and bruises but nothing serious.

“I want to thank people for all the shows of friendship and support, but I would ask you not to contact me or my family at this time to help us get through this situation as soon as possible.

“The Braga police were called to the scene immediately and couldn’t have done any more to help. They dealt with the incident and I hope that they catch those responsible for this attempted robbery.”

The manager, who has managed in the Premier League and Championship, recently celebrated Rio Ave equalling the club’s record points total of 51, with two games still to play, following a goalless draw against Maritimo.

Rio Ave are a team based in Vila do Conde near Porto, who are currently sixth in the Primeira table and close to Europa League qualifying places.

Carvalhal also set another two records earlier this season with a nine-game unbeaten run which equalled a 38-year club record achieved by Jose Manuel Mourinho Felix, who is indeed Jose Mourinho’s father.

They also have exceeded their previous record of 27 points away from home.
