My research in this field is based on studies on coaches' migration. Over the past years, I have been studying the perceptions of migrant coaches in relation to their recruitment process, motivations to migrate and migration experience as a whole. I have also investigated the patterns and networks of Portuguese coaches’ migration and examined how foreign coaches are viewed through media discourse. I have been studying the coaches’ immigration to the United Kingdom by analysing the foreign and native coaches’ views on migration. With the support from the UEFA Research Grant 2017/18, my research in sports migration also provided insight for cultural intelligence in the sports context and informed about the cross-cultural training needs of football coaches to work with people from different countries. I was awarded with the FIFA Scholarship 2022/23 to implement and evaluate a cross-cultural training programme for football coaches. My research interests are also in coach education, learning and professional development by examining the sports coaches knowledge and competences.
