“I clearly identify with the Club’s values and principles” | OneFootball

He took charge of the women’s team from day one, won two national titles and, in just two years, led FC Porto to the top tier, where he will continue to guide the blue-and-white side. After extending his contract until 2028, Daniel Chaves did not hide that “it is a source of pride” to formalise “what had already been discussed for some time.”

The coach assured that he has always felt “confidence from the Board” and wants to keep contributing to “the Club’s growth in women’s football.” For him, this journey has been “fantastic,” but above all “full of victories.” In the First Division, he promises a Porto-style team: “We will go into every match wanting to win and we know the gap that exists in relation to some rivals who have been in women’s football for a few years now, but we also know where we want to get to.”

The contract renewal“Above all, it is putting on paper what had already been discussed for some time. Obviously, it is a source of pride to be here. As I have always said, I feel at home and I clearly identify with the Club’s values and principles. That is the continuity we want to give, helping FC Porto develop in women’s football.”

There is more to life than results“A coach’s role is identified through results, but it is much more than that; it is daily work on and off the pitch. Naturally, results always help in achieving personal and collective success. I feel that this is a vote of confidence, but I have always felt that confidence from the Board.”

Two years of many victories“It has been a fantastic journey and, above all, one of victories. Fortunately, in these two years, we have only one league defeat, which came in the regular phase of the Second Division. Capping off the two promotions with two titles in difficult championships and being present at Jamor is a statement from us. I am very happy to help the Club grow in women’s football.”

Reaching the First Division“We will be in the First Division just as we were in the Third and Second, wanting to win. We will go into every match wanting to win and we know the gap that exists in relation to some rivals who have been in women’s football for a few years now, but we also know where we want to get to. Things take time and everything does not change overnight. We want to create competitiveness for those at the top, fight for the top places and fight for titles to add to the Museum.”
