Brahimi on Porto days: “Pinto da Costa was the greatest president” | OneFootball

Yacine Brahimi looks back on the five years spent at FC Porto, a cycle in which he delighted fans with unpredictable and fiery football, but which, in terms of trophies, ultimately left a sense of little. The Algerian laments having only collected one Championship, one Cup and one Super Cup, admitting that, given the quality of the squad and the size of the club, they should have achieved much more. Nevertheless, he emphasizes that the passage was decisive on a personal and professional level, qualifying FC Porto as "one of the best clubs in the world".

In an interview, Brahimi highlights his intense connection with Sérgio Conceição, whom he calls "a great man" and a passionate coach who marked him from the first contact, believing in his potential to be "one of the best in the world". He also mentions his friendship with Marega and recalls the joy of celebrating from a distance the victory over Juventus in the Champions League, already in Qatar.

The winger takes the opportunity to praise Pinto da Costa, whom he considers "the greatest president in the world" for his leadership and legacy left at the club. Brahimi says he believes in the work of André Villas-Boas and shows confidence in a future of victories, wishing that the fans will soon be celebrating titles again, just like in FC Porto's most glorious eras.
