Exclusive | Brooklyn FC hires Tomas Tengarrinha as new head coach for second USL season
Briefly

Tomás Tengarrinha has been appointed as the head coach of Brooklyn FC, following a previous coaching stint at SF Damaiense in Portugal’s women's league. After finishing 10-9-9 in its inaugural USL Super League season, Brooklyn decided to part ways with Jessica Silva. Tengarrinha expressed excitement about the job, citing the unique qualities of New York, the league's developing status, and the club's ambition as motivating factors. His coaching background is enriched by various non-sport professions, which have shaped his approach and authenticity as a coach.
Tengarrinha, hired as Brooklyn FC's head coach, previously coached SF Damaiense in Portugal and has a successful career including a third-place finish with SC Braga.
Tengarrinha found it 'easy' to accept the Brooklyn FC position because of New York's unique appeal, the league's growth, and the club's ambitions.
Having had various professions before coaching, Tengarrinha believes these experiences make him more authentic and honest with players, contributing to his coaching success.
Despite earlier opportunities abroad, Tengarrinha initially focused on his coaching journey, which began after encouragement from his ex-girlfriend.
