Villas-Boas: Representing Porto means a hunger to win | OneFootball

The Portuguese Cup won by the women's volleyball team in Albufeira has already been delivered to its rightful destination: the FC Porto Museum. The group led by Miguel Coelho was received by the president André Villas-Boas, who effusively praised the work done by the technical team and the blue and white volleyball players: “First of all, I want to congratulate the team, the technical, medical, and support logistics teams, and of course, the athletes for this first Portuguese Cup in women's volleyball for FC Porto,” he began by saying.

In the hope that this triumph is “a start for a good continuation of the season that has been marked by so many victories of this team,” André Villas-Boas highlighted the importance of the support from the “Porto fans present in Albufeira,” emphasizing that the victory against SC Braga was “hard-fought, with effort, sacrifice, and well-achieved.” The Club president believes that the attitude and performance of the athletes can be “a good omen” for the remainder of 2025/26, especially since the League Play-off starts soon: “I think it is important for us to reclaim the volleyball title, as last season was marked by not having achieved the national champion title.”

A victory for everyone“First of all, I want to congratulate the team, the technical, medical, and support logistics teams, and of course, the athletes for this first Portuguese Cup in women's volleyball for FC Porto. It is something that makes us proud and is a start for a good continuation of the season that has been marked by so many victories of this team. I also congratulate Mário Santos and Miguel Coelho for the effort and for reinventing this team this year. It is a whole new generation of athletes, some of whom are already in the process of renewal for the next season. It greatly dignifies the work of the scouting teams and also of coach Miguel Coelho in building this team.”

The support of Porto fans in Albufeira“I also feel proud of the Porto fans present in Albufeira, who supported the team in a victory that was difficult, hard-fought, with effort, sacrifice, and well-achieved against SC Braga. May it be an inspiration for the rest of the season.”

Now it's time to reclaim the national title“The responsibility of representing FC Porto includes this desire and thirst for victory from the fans. It is a daily responsibility that we all feel, from the president to the coaches and the players. I think it is important for us to reclaim the volleyball title, as last season was marked by not having achieved the national champion title. All the examples these athletes have set, the performances they have delivered, and the way they have already managed to win this Portuguese Cup, is a good omen for the rest of the season.”
