The Quinas de Ouro gala took place last Saturday, October 25th, organized by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), in partnership with the Professional Football Players’ Union (SJPF) and the National Association of Football Coaches (ANTF). Rui Borges and Francisco Trincão won the top awards.

The Sporting coach was named the best coach of 2024/25, after leading the Alvalade club to win the National Championship for the second consecutive time and achieving the much-desired double, following his hiring from Vitória de Guimarães in December.

The Portuguese international winger was the best player of the season, in the most productive year of his career. Francisco Trincão scored 11 goals and provided 17 assists in 54 matches for Sporting throughout last season – which is set to earn him a contract renewal soon.

Aurélio Pereira, who passed away last April, was also remembered by Pedro Proença. The eternal Mr. Youth Development was honored and awarded the Medal of Honor of the Portuguese Football Federation, now presided over by the former referee.

With 82 points earned at the end of the 34 rounds – 25 wins, seven draws, and two losses. In the Portuguese Cup, the Lions defeated Benfica in the final (3-1), after extra time.
