Brahimi on Porto days: "Pinto da Costa was the greatest president" | OneFootball

Yacine Brahimi recalls the five years he spent at FC Porto, a period during which he delighted fans with his unpredictable and fiery football, but which, in terms of trophies, ultimately left a sense of wanting more. The Algerian regrets having won only one League title, one Cup, and one Super Cup, admitting that, given the quality of the squad and the size of the club, they should have achieved much more. Even so, he emphasizes that his time there was decisive both personally and professionally, describing FC Porto as “one of the best clubs in the world.”

In an interview, Brahimi highlights his strong connection with Sérgio Conceição, whom he calls “a great man” and a passionate coach who made an impression on him from their very first contact, for believing in his potential to be “one of the best in the world.” He also mentions his friendship with Marega and recalls the joy of celebrating from afar the victory over Juventus in the Champions League, already in Qatar.

The winger takes the opportunity to praise Pinto da Costa, whom he considers “the greatest president in the world” for his leadership and the legacy he left at the club. Brahimi says he believes in the work of André Villas-Boas and expresses confidence in a future filled with victories, hoping that fans will soon celebrate titles again, just as they did during FC Porto’s most glorious eras.
