Magnus Andersson leaves FC Porto handball | OneFootball

FC Porto announced this Wednesday the departure of Magnus Andersson as head coach of the handball team after seven seasons. The newspaper Record writes that the highly experienced Swedish coach is now preparing to take charge of the Norway national team, thus bringing to an end a long, title-filled spell with the Dragons. According to the same source, his successor on the blue-and-white bench will be Carlos Martingo.

The Porto club confirmed the farewell through an official statement, in which it highlighted the coach’s journey in these terms:

“Having arrived at Dragão Arena in the summer of 2018 — the year in which he began the first of two spells in Porto — the 60-year-old coach led FC Porto to four National Championship titles, two Portuguese Cups and two Super Cups, and it was with the former Swedish international at the helm that the club achieved historic results in the Champions League, the EHF Cup and the European League.”

The coach’s departure comes shortly after the end of the current edition of the sport’s national championship. Porto’s team finished the competition in second place with 42 points, behind only rivals Sporting, who ended the campaign unbeaten with 52 points and secured a third consecutive title.
