6 May 2018: the day Sérgio Conceição took FC Porto back to the top | OneFootball

On May 6, 2018, FC Porto were crowned national champions once again, bringing to an end a run of several seasons without winning the title.

That return to the top was naturally associated with the work of Sérgio Conceição, then the Dragons’ head coach, in a season in which the team regained competitiveness, consistency, and ambition. The manager played a decisive role in rebuilding the Porto side and was one of the most important figures in that triumph.

The 2017/18 title represented a hugely important moment for the club, which once again celebrated winning the Portuguese league after a spell without lifting the country’s main domestic trophy. More than just the outcome of the season, that campaign became associated with the ability to restore a competitive identity to the team.

In Porto’s memory, Sérgio Conceição is still seen as one of the main figures responsible for that championship. His leadership from the bench, his daily demands, and the way he motivated the group were decisive in a campaign that ended with FC Porto as national champions.

May 6, 2018 therefore holds a special place in recent blue-and-white history: the day FC Porto returned to the title and Sérgio Conceição cemented his name among the key figures in that return to trophies.
