Nelson Jardim previously spent two spells on the coaching staff at Swansea City Head coach Nelson Jardim has left Newport County by mutual consent after just under a season in charge of the League Two club The 46-year-old Portuguese coach took up the role on an initial one-year deal last summer "I have known Nelson for 15 years and we have always been open and honest with each other,'' said chairman Huw Jenkins "He felt that it was best for him and the club to move on with just two games left and our league status now secure." Assistant manager Dafydd Williams will take interim charge of Newport's final two games at Fleetwood on Saturday (15:00 BST) and at home against Tranmere Rovers on Saturday Jardim hinted to BBC Sport Wales last week that he was considering his future at the Exiles with his wife and young children still living in Portugal it suited me and it suited the club to have a one-year contract," Jardim said "The changes were for the club and for me as well I have a young family and we need to assess everything That conversation has to come at the end of the season I've always felt confident with that and since the start Newport dig in for precious point to frustrate Walsall Jardim coy on future as Newport County boss Newport say the decision was made at a meeting with the club's chairman Jenkins after Monday's goalless draw at home to Walsall With two games remaining Newport are 20th in League Two on 49 points "I can't thank Nelson enough for his hard work especially as he left his young family in Portugal to take on the role," added Jenkins who completed a takeover of the club in January 2024 "He took on a tough challenge with lots of changes at the club from a squad overhaul to the way we operate and work "His main goal was to keep the club in League Two during a season of transition so that we can start building for the future but he feels that with the job completed then it was time for him to look for a new challenge "Having taken on board his thoughts and the timing it also allows us the space to reflect and plan over the final two games and the summer to appoint a replacement as quickly as possible." Jardim took charge of the club following the departure of Graham Coughlan in June 2024 with Jenkins promising a "new direction" for the club The Exiles then signed 17 new players during last summer's transfer window while Jenkins is now looking to make his second managerial appointment in the coming months "It's been a difficult season at times but considering all the experience we have gained over the last 12 months then I believe there is a clear understanding of what we need to move us forward as a team and a club," said Jenkins "We will be looking to bring in the right manager or head coach to build on those last 12 months so we can start the season strongly; move the club forward and challenge for the top part of League Two."

Nelson Jardim joined Swansea in 2009 and left the club following his second spell there Newport County boss Nelson Jardim has admitted his future as head coach of the Exiles is unclear Newport are still not fully clear of League Two relegation after a poor run of results with Jardim being scrutinised by some of the County fans and his contract expiring this summer The ex-Swansea coach says he never wanted a long tenure as boss and cited his young family in Portugal as a reason he is calm about his future with talks planned with chairman and owner Huw Jenkins at the end of the season it suited me and it suited the club to have a one-year contract," Jardim told BBC Sport Wales Colchester net twice late on to beat Newport "I will finish this season still doing that." The Exiles travel to MK Dons on Friday with Walsall the visitors on Easter Monday Following a terrible end to last season where the Exiles lost eight on the spin Jardim says it is imperative the players finish stronger than last season "We don't want to go and finish the season like the club finished the last one," Jardim said to take responsibility for us losing the last game in the way we lost "The players have to take the responsibility for some of the results not going our way Ultimately I am responsible but it is about them being at it and focused." Jardim has spoken previously about players who are out of contract at the end of the season playing for their futures but he feels that ship might have now sailed "Some players out of contract have had enough time and chances to prove and to show what they can do I wouldn't be honest if I didn't say that," he added We need to stay as professional as we can be." Newport are 10 points clear of the relegation zone in League Two but not yet mathematically safe and Jardim is urging the players to stick to their task "We still haven't finished our job We could have done it two or three weeks ago but haven't quite done it yet," he said "No one can accuse me of selling dreams that weren't doable We wanted a comfortable season and for the most part we've had that Sometimes expectations went beyond what we could deliver." Getty ImagesPublished7 April 2025Nelson Jardim has apologised to Newport County fans for not acknowledging their support after Saturday's Carlisle capitulation claiming he was caught up in a "heated moment" in the tunnel Jardim said it was the most frustrated he has felt all season on the road after the Exiles threw away a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 to League Two's bottom side Newport were 2-0 up inside 28 minutes through Kieron Evans and Bobby Kamwa but United turned the game on its head with three second-half goals I would like to apologise to our fans," said Jardim being 2-0 up and then losing it in that way I had to ask a couple of questions and I was caught up in the tunnel." The Portuguese coach said his "heated moment" kept him in the tunnel "for a long period" which led to him not going to acknowledge the supporters who had made the 560-mile round trip and thanking the fans because they've been great to us "But I think they will understand I wanted some answers "I was caught up in a heated moment which I'm not proud of but sometimes the emotions just go through you and I have to fight for my club." County's second-half collapse at Brunton Park led to their fifth successive away defeat as Mark Hughes' side gave themselves a lifeline in the battle to beat the drop Asked whether Saturday was the most frustrating away performance of the season It's just a pity because we again fell short when it came to defending duels aerial balls...when it's a battle we always struggle." now have three home games and two away matches left of a largely disappointing campaign They will be hoping for a first win in five matches when Colchester visit Rodney Parade on 12 April Huw Evans Picture AgencyPublished20 April 2025Nelson Jardim says he is proud of Newport County's efforts during the course of his debut campaign at the club so far They have endured numerous difficult spells since Jardim was named as Graham Coughlan's successor last summer and are currently winless in six matches The Exiles can mathematically clinch League Two survival on Monday when they host promotion-chasing Walsall at Rodney Parade (12:30 BST) Despite plenty of ups and downs since being named as boss Jardim believes the tougher experiences from the 2024-25 campaign will stand Newport in good stead in the long term "I'm proud of what we have been doing this season," he told BBC Radio Wales after his side's 0-0 draw at MK Dons on Friday "Sometimes things don't go our way Set plays have let us down in a lot of games but I'm pleased coming here (to MK Dons) we know they've got a really good manager with a project in front of him You can't say you're going to win or lose any game It's about what you're able to deliver on the day Sometimes teams are not able to do that and we went through those spells We were expecting to have that this season "Hopefully next season the club will be much better Hopefully that stability that the club needs having been through this experience will help the club."

Newport chairman Jenkins outlines big change of approach Newport County accounts to show 'light moving forward' Jardim says he wants his players – many of whom are playing their first full year of senior football – to use their final eight fixtures to show they can be confident going into next season With no side winning fewer points away from home form on the road has proven costly to any higher ambitions this term Jardim said: "There are good signs there – and it is backed up with evidence and data "The challenge is to use the last eight games to show a clear future in terms of the team and the way we want to play "Because of injuries and suspensions we have had to adapt and we have been clever to find ways of winning games to give us that comfort "But we need to take these eight games to show what can be the beginning of the next season." A quieter summer of recruitment is planned at Newport but the Portuguese former Swansea City coach says the foundations laid in this campaign will allow the club to be more targeted in their transfer dealings "We knew that some of the boys would need time to play more games," added Jardim "We have started that process and now when we look to improve the team we are able to be more precise in the type of player and what they will offer us "Now we know the players and what we need Huw Evans Picture AgencyPublished4 April 2025 Newport County will embark on their longest away trip of the season on Saturday - a gruelling 560-mile round trip to face League Two's bottom side Carlisle at Brunton Park Travelling has been the Exiles' Achilles heel this season, with 13 losses and just three wins on the road, an area Nelson Jardim has been trying to remedy in recent weeks. and eat," said County head coach Jardim "But it's always tough traveling that far A vocal contingent of more than 100 Newport supporters are expected to make the mammoth trip to north west England and Jardim is determined to give them something to cheer about "We need to make sure we put on a good performance because we are playing for the fans as well," he added hosts Carlisle - managed by former Wales boss Mark Hughes - are nine points from safety and fighting tooth and nail for EFL survival Newport are 17th having been denied an 11th home win of the season by a late Bromley equaliser on Tuesday They may have no relegation worries but Jardim insists victory on Saturday remains important as he looks to finish the season strongly and lay the foundations for future success at the club every game has been important," he said prior to the long trip to Carlisle "It's a huge game for us as well."

With this funding, Jardim launched No Labirinto a podcast about modern-day slavery in Brazil This interview has been edited for clarity Let’s say you are talking to someone reading your ICFJ Voices profile that knows nothing about modern slavery in Brazil — what’s one thing you want them to know I would say that modern slavery is an issue that is related to everybody Modern slavery is connected to the clothes that we wear The production chain is connected to modern slavery.  A t-shirt that costs only $1 or $2 would not have had a fair production Someone was exploited to produce that t-shirt and modern slavery is a part of daily life there It's connected to the human trafficking migration So many of the people that are enslaved there come from Myanmar A scene that makes me crazy was just a few weeks after I arrived a group of Myanmar migrants were found dead in the jungle of Thailand the deal that the trafficker had with the person didn't go well and basically they just left them to die in the jungle we have 50 million people worldwide being enslaved right now.  It's a lot It's much more than during the colonial period with the slave trade from Africa to America we don't talk about that as much as we should I know that it's happening in Brazil as well So I was writing articles for BBC and Al Jazeera about modern slavery in Southeast Asia but I also found it interesting to narrate those stories here in Brazil.  So much of your background was in documentary and print before starting your podcast What inspired your transition into podcasting Radio was never my format. But then I did podcasts with Radio Ambulante And I basically fell in love with them because the structure is similar to documentary where I could write in a way that I like to – not like short versions of stories.  You can use narrative and storytelling techniques that in journalism is that space where we can experiment more I think podcasts are a venue where we can explore more and experiment while using techniques that are interesting How has your podcast evolved since receiving the Emerging Media Leaders grant in 2021 but it did cover the research for two episodes when I was in Thailand And it was especially important because my podcast isn’t about a commercial topic I'm going to do a podcast about modern slavery.’ You know I understand that we need to talk about tough topics as well ‘yeah you should do it.’ It’s something that is not in the spotlight ICFJ’s grant showed others that this project is reliable And then IWMF ended up funding the whole production.  I do consider that ICFJ was so important in the beginning in the seed fund stage that  helped me to trust that my idea was a good idea.  What’s a ‘No Labirinto' story that stands out to you One of my podcasts called ‘Pureza: The saga of a mother searching for her enslaved son.’  her son disappeared and she tried to find him for three and a half years So she was jumping from one state to another trying to find her son who was enslaved she understood what modern slavery looks like And she understood the web of how guys trap workers in those situations.  This was in the 90s when the government didn't recognize modern slavery as an issue So then she was like part of this abolitionism where citizens were pushing the government to change She was also a part of the period when the president recognized modern slavery in Brazil I was just admitted to do a masters on migration and climate change I want to combine those topics to show how some people are forced to migrate because of climate change This makes them vulnerable to being trapped in modern slavery work Climate change is going to worsen the situation for everybody People will be displaced due to climate change And when they are forced to migrate to another country where you don't know the language What do you have to say to up-and-coming journalists I think it’s key to be passionate about the story that you're going to cover I guess this is the biggest advice I could give you because you are going to learn the other things step by step when we don't know everything all the time we have a career that we can learn from all the time Every article pushes you to learn because you need to interview people and then you need to study to interview that person and then you understand another perspective from that reality that maybe you didn't know before journalism itself is a learning process that never ends P  (202) 737-3700F  (202) 737-0530E  communications@icfj.org ©2025 International Center for Journalists FAO Angola and Ambassador Maria de Fátima Jardim Permanent Representative of Angola to FAO held a strategic meeting to explore collaboration on strengthening agrifood systems and supporting rural communities This stakeholder meeting comes as part of FAO Angola’s Country Programming Framework (CPF) for 2024–2028;

Jardim said injured striker Kyle Hudlin will not be back for Bromley's visit but could be available for Saturday's trip to Carlisle Defender Kyle Jameson is not ready to return yet either Exiles head coach Nelson Jardim addressed an alleged incident of racial abuse towards a Colchester player in the 2-0 loss against the U’s at Rodney Parade The match was blighted by an allegation of racist abuse from a home fan towards striker Samson Tovide as he left the pitch at half-time but will always be against that type of abuse “I am sure the club will deal with it properly behind the scenes.” Jardim felt his side were hard done by after Kai Whitmore went close several times and David Ajiboye hit a post in the second half “It was very difficult to take,” added the Portuguese if you had to choose the better team it was the one that lost “I told the boys that they let themselves down because it came down to two moments and set-plays again Colchester manager Danny Cowley said of the alleged racial abuse: “It’s not a reflection on Newport County “It’s an incident that’s being investigated “But we’ll never walk past these incidents And that’s not acceptable in the 21st century Cowley praised his side’s never-say-die attitude as they scored twice late on to beat Newport and stay in the Sky Bet League Two play-off hunt The U’s looked to be heading for a damaging draw which would have left them five points below seventh-placed Grimsby as the Mariners were 2-0 up at Harrogate as Grimsby conceded twice late on to draw 2-2 Fiacre Kelleher headed in Mandela Egbo’s free-kick to break the deadlock in the 88th minute at Rodney Parade before substitute Anthony Scully sealed a vital victory in stoppage time “It was a brilliant finish and a great win but I’ve had easier Saturdays,” joked Cowley who saw experienced forward Lyle Taylor carried off the pitch on stretcher in the 12th minute “We had a brilliant start to the game and then lost Lyle to what looks like a serious injury and that affected everyone because he’s such an important part of our group “But I was proud of the resilience we showed we kept going and ultimately ended up winning the game.” The victory leaves Cowley’s men just one point below Grimsby with four games to play “It’s not for us to get too excited,” added the U’s boss Our task is to stay focused on trying to perform.” Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_2" ).setAttribute( "value" Connect with Nation.Cymru on Facebook and Twitter If you would like to donate to help keep Nation.Cymru running then you just need to click on the box below it will open a pop up window that will allow you to pay using your credit / debit card or paypal Enter your email address to receive instant notifications of new articles All information provided to Nation.Cymru will be handled sensitively and within the boundaries of the Data Protection Act 2018 In 2017 Nation.Cymru was launched after raising £5000 from a crowdfunding campaign Today it is one of the fastest growing news sites in the UK attracting over 1.5 million visitors a month We are not backed by billionaire owners or hidden behind a paywall but we depend on our readers' support to continue our work If everyone who visited the site over the course of a month donated at least £1 we would have enough funding for the next eight years To guarantee our future please consider making a donation today.

Football Al Ain FC announces the signing of Portuguese coach Leonardo Jardim until the end of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 📄🤝 pic.twitter.com/5QApFn6r2H The new Campeonato Brasileiro 2025 got underway this weekend with Leonardo Jardim marking his debut in the top flight by guiding Cruzeiro to victory last season’s top 2 each had a Portuguese on the bench as Abel Ferreira’s Palmeiras were held to a goalless draw by champions Botafogo there was a Portuguese goalscorer for Vasco da Gama as the Rio de Janeiro club handed Pedro Caixinha’s Santos a defeat on his Serie A debut led by Pepa and with a trio of Portuguese players there was a solid opening-day draw at Sao Paulo One new big managerial name in Brazilian football is Leonardo Jardim the well-travelled Portuguese who took charge of Cruzeiro over the summer break Jardim was hired on a two-year contract at the start of February having enjoyed great success in the Middle East where he won the Saudi title and the Asian Champions League with Al Hilal before lifting the UAE Pro League with Al Shabab Jardim was at the Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto in Belo Horizonte as Cruzeiro welcomed newly-promoted Mirassol on Matchday 1 of the new campaign Early goals by Dudu (14’) and former Benfica man Gabriel Barbosa (22’) put Jardim’s side in control but the visitors missed a penalty before pulling one back in first-half stoppage time through Lucas Ramon and some not so good things,” Jardim said after the match “I've already said that I didn't like the last 10 minutes of the first half at all because we lost the pressure and let the opponent control the game with the ball We certainly haven't done so well for the beginning The beginning is always the most difficult moment it will be interesting to follow the expectations of Raposa across the new season Cruzeiro came into the weekend a little more rusty than some of the other big clubs having not played a competitive match for 40 days since an underwhelming performance in the Minas Gerais state championships during Jardim’s early days in charge Fixing a leaky defence remains one of the 50-year-old’s biggest tasks Cruzeiro have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last ten official matches – the latest being the win over Mirassol next up for Cruzeiro is a trip to Argentina on Tuesday to play Unión Santa Fé in the first match of the Copa Sudamericana group stage Last season’s top two faced off in São Paulo on Sunday with Brazilian and South American champions Botafogo handed a tough fixture at Palmeiras to mark Renato Paiva’s Serie A debut on the bench Paiva has taken on the daunting job of replacing fellow Portuguese Artur Jorge at Botafogo who lifted both the Campeonato Brasileiro and Copa Libertadores last term The teams played out a 0-0 draw at Allianz Parque but the visitors earned more praise for their showing under Paiva Botafogo played with similar intensity and dynamism which encapsulated their historic season under Jorge last term something Paiva was happy to see on his first outing but I'm sure that it will once again confirm that this is a group of champions,” he said “There were demonstrations of talent at various times That's how they won the titles and that's how they'll continue to win It would be very unwise to come here and change what was done in a game plan that gave the club two titles my job is to understand the characteristics of the players who arrived and see if it was possible to continue in the same way I like my team to be complete. We want a Botafogo to be balanced without taking away individuality.” Abel Ferreira faced tougher questions about his Palmeiras side who after finishing without a trophy last term and losing the Paulista State Championship to Corinthians last week with just one (via a penalty) across their last four matches including three straight blank scoresheets Media reaction has focused on a lack of incision particularly due to major summer signing Vitor Roque from Barcelona having a tendency to involve himself in build-up rather than providing the penetrative runs the team lacks admitted his players must be more proactive “I told the players in the circle that we did it at the end and sometimes we need to attack further behind our opponent,” Abel said touching and that is not what we have to do “We need to have all the players available maybe a win to give us a bit of confidence We came from the Paulista final and we didn't have much time to prepare these players Botafogo had a week or 15 days to prepare for the game And we are coming from a final that was difficult for us we knew the game was going to be difficult We didn't play against just any opponent and our spirits weren't good “We are far from our level and that's a good thing because in the end the most obvious opportunity was ours we have to be focused on what we have to do to stay in each competition until the end.” Whilst Brazil has become accustomed to Portuguese managers dominating the coaching landscape in the country the arrival of Luso players has been a little slower to emerge with a small but growing contingent across various clubs in the Campeonato Brasileiro One of those making his mark is former Vizela and Casa Pia winger Nuno Moreira who scored for Vasco da Gama this weekend in their 2-1 home victory over Santos The result inflicted an early defeat on new Santos boss Pedro Caixinha who switched from fellow São Paulo outfit RB Bragantino during the summer break Caixinha’s side got off to a good start at Estádio São Januário taking advantage of a mistake in Vasco’s build-up play to go ahead on 21 minutes through Argentine Alvaro Barreal Santos continued to threaten in the first period leading to audible frustration from the home crowd who cost Vasco €3.5m from Casa Pia in February levelled things up early in the second half with a brave back-post header It meant goals in consecutive games for the 25-year-old who found the net against Flamengo in Vasco’s last outing during the Carioca State Championships Portuguese winger Nuno Moreira scores on the opening weekend of the new Brazilian season, helping Vasco da Gama beat Santos 2-1 tonight.pic.twitter.com/QgIQD1dzh1 denied initially by a truly astonishing save by Santos goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão before later snatching all three points when a glaringly unmarked Pablo Vegetti glanced his header into the far corner from a free-kick delivery were left to count the cost of their lead slipping the opposing team was failing to make many passes the opposing team and the crowd were upset “It was with this emotional advantage that we went into the break The first message we gave the players was that we had to make a very strong start to the game to take advantage of the momentum we had ended the first half with “It's true that one or two players felt some difficulty  There was no drop in (physical) performance But if we analyse the physical aspect only based on that at the start of the game and in the moments when we gave the opponent the opportunity to respond The opponent took advantage and they did it well.” Perhaps more concerning for Caixinha was the angry analysis from Santos president Marcelo Teixeira it appears the Peixe leader expects the team to be a serious force in the championship this term while even pointing to Caixinha’s substitutions “It was unacceptable for Santos to start a campaign here in which they want to be the protagonist and stay on the front page of the championship A team that wants to reach the championship final among the top teams can't concede the goals we concede “We don't want to remain in secondary competitions that are different from our tradition We have to come back and say that Santos is it has the ability to put in a good campaign and we need this reaction I see the natural changes that the coach made But the team was already making an important I think it was more due to the changes that were made in which the team took a while to establish a rhythm again.” The first match of the opening week saw Portuguese boss Pepa take his newly promoted Sport Recife to São Paulo on Saturday afternoon The visitors were given an early let-off when São Paulo were awarded an almost instant penalty which was blazed over the bar by Jonathan Calleri in the 3rd minute after which the sides played out a 0-0 draw Sport recruited three Portuguese players during the close-season including established names in the form of ex Porto duo Sérgio Oliveira and Gonçalo Paciência as well as former Sporting defender João Silva Paciência was missing but both Sérgio Oliveira and João Silva started for Sport while veteran Euro 2016 winner Cédric Soares was an unused substitute for São Paulo Pepa received praise for his tactical acumen in the media having shown versatility and pragmatism with his approach Sport were renowned for their proactive style in the second tier last season but opted to crowd the midfield against Sao Paulo to frustrate their opponents gaining just 35% of possession but making the side “a strategist” according to O Globo “If we had not competed to this degree here we would have lost,” Pepa said after the match We have to highlight above all the defensive organisation what is non-negotiable is this spirit of dedication “A penalty in the first minute could have caused a lot of emotional problems The team knew how to suffer and when they managed to have the ball they had no problems playing By @SeanGillen9 Newport boss Nelson Jardim labelled his side’s performance as “not good enough” as they struggled to trouble rampant Doncaster in a 3-0 throughout a difficult afternoon in South Yorkshire He said: “The way we conceded goals was not good enough We lost focus and we just have to get back to the minimum level that is needed to compete I couldn’t say that anybody had a good day “From the first half you could see that the competition and the aggression that you need to have at this level was not there “We conceded goals from individual mistakes and that is costing us Some of the goals we are conceding are unbelievable We lost one-v-one situations and you cannot have that level of performance.” “We have to analyse and make sure we are stronger on Tuesday because it’s a massive game against Gillingham and we have to compete “We didn’t have a striker today but I don’t want to use that as the sole excuse for this it’s as simple as that and I’m not going to be finding excuses for it.” Grant McCann was delighted with Doncaster’s “complete performance” as they coasted to a 3-0 win over Newport A brace from Rob Street and a fine Luke Molyneux strike saw Doncaster move three points ahead of fourth-placed Notts County McCann was buoyed by the manner of his side’s control as they secured a third straight win with attention quickly turning to the trip to Bromley in midweek “All this is for us today is a good win,” he said It’s always pleasing when you get a win and a performance to go with it “Winning is all that matters for us at this stage of the season From a performance and control point of view get our preparation right and get ready for a long trip down to Bromley “I thought it was a complete performance from start to finish all the time but I thought for 95 minutes it was a very very good performance with three very good goals “I’m pleased with the determination from the boys because Newport are a really dangerous team a really dangerous front three and it was a big job for the defenders which they dealt with well.” St James —Chief

and Industry Wall of Fame “It’s with the deepest gratitude I accept this incredible recognition from my peers I am honoured to be in the esteemed company of so many MoBay greats and it is particularly meaningful because Montego Bay is where it all started for me,” Jardim said “Montego Bay has always held a special place in my heart and it’s here that my entrepreneurial journey started and I bought an old waterfront restaurant on ‘Bottom Road’ and began our Margaritaville journey — 12 restaurants bars and nightclubs in three islands and 15 years later in 2010 I sold my piece of the business to focus on my other passion He recounted that Rainforest began in 1997 in a 1,500 square foot storefront in a small plaza in Freeport “A tiny retail store and office on a rickety wooden mezzanine above two freezer containers and one Nissan deportee delivery van — so began our excellent adventure,” he recalled “Today we operate in five countries with over 50 locations including plants restaurants and docks with over 1,000 team members We export to more than 30 countries across the world; we are a MoBay company with a global reach; a true MoBay success story,” added Jardim He expressed heartfelt gratitude to his family and his many friends for their unwavering support over the years “Rainforest was built by an incredibly loyal and talented team many of whom are here this evening sharing in

everything we’ve achieved I will cherish it always,” declared Jardim Newport manager Nelson Jardim was very disappointed to see a two-goal lead slip away for his side in the 3-2 defeat away at Carlisle and thought the game’s physical battle was key to his side’s defeat He said: “We started very well to go 2-0 up this is the case not only in this game but in others too it becomes physical
