FC Porto: Sérgio Ferreira’s successor secured from within | OneFootball

Sérgio Ferreira, the national junior champion coach, was announced this Monday as Alverca’s new manager, leaving his role in charge of FC Porto’s under-19 team.

This leaves an opening in the Dragons’ youth coaching structure, which, A BOLA has learned, will be filled internally. According to information gathered by our newspaper, the Porto board intends to choose someone for Sérgio Ferreira’s position who is already fully familiar with the club’s youth development working methods.

In that context, the possibility of changes to the coaching staffs of other age groups has not been ruled out, particularly the under-17s, coached by José João, in order to complete the succession process in the junior team.

It should also be noted that assistant coach Silvestre Varela also followed Sérgio Ferreira to Alverca, along with fitness coach João Magalhães and analyst João Santos. André Baptista, who was part of João Brandão’s coaching staff with the B team, also moved to Ribatejo.
