Sérgio Conceição will not continue as coach of Oporto
Porto coach, Sérgio Conceição, will not continue leading the Portuguese team’s bench, a position he has held for the last seven years. In a statement sent this morning to the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM), the club has reported that Conceição’s time at the helm of the ‘dragons’ will end at the end of June, when his contract expires.
Sérgio Conceição, who has won three leagues with the “dragons” team, was renewed on April 25 for four more years by the previous president of Porto, Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa. However, two days later, on April 27, Pinto da Costa lost the elections and former coach André Vilas-Boas took over the presidency of the club.
According to Porto’s statement, Sérgio Conceição has opted for “unilateral termination.” For his part, the coach explained in another statement that he leaves “with a sense of duty fulfilled”, after winning 11 titles. Sérgio Conceição, 49, took charge of Porto in 2017 and leaves after winning three Leagues, four Cups, three Portuguese Super Cups and one League Cup. During this time, he became the coach with the most games (379), the most victories (274) and the most titles (11) as head of the blue and white team. Previously, he had coached French club Nantes and Portuguese clubs such as Braga and Vitória de Guimarães. His career as a footballer also passed through Porto, where he trained and won three league titles, although most of it was developed in Italy, where he defended the colors of Lazio, Parma and Inter Milan. The search for a new coach will be one of the first challenges of Porto’s new sports director, the Spanish Andoni Zubizarreta.
