Strasbourg appoints Hugo Oliveira as its new head coach following Gary O’Neil’s move to Ipswich Town. Sources report that O’Neil leaves the Ligue 1 club shortly after joining, with Strasbourg confirming the change and naming Oliveira as his successor. Oliveira is reported to arrive from Portuguese side Famalicao. One outlet specifies that he comes from the Portuguese top flight and that he previously helped Famalicao to a fifth-place finish in the 2025-26 season. Another source describes Oliveira as a “highly rated” appointment, reflecting internal confidence in his credentials ahead of his role in France. Across the reports, the key points are the timing of O’Neil’s departure for Ipswich and Strasbourg’s decision to replace him with Oliveira from Famalicao. The articles do not provide additional details on contract length, coaching staff changes, or immediate goals for the new appointment beyond the club-to-club transition.
