“This was a contract extension that had to happen” | OneFootball

Daniel Chaves’s contract extension until 2028 “was a renewal that had to happen,” since the coach “transformed the entire women’s football project” with “a true Porto spirit” and “has brought a lot of joy” to the blue-and-white nation. Eager for “him to be one of the faces of this project and to lead FC Porto to glory,” André Villas-Boas said he was “very pleased with this further step,” “confirmation of the good work that has been carried out,” and hopeful that next year will be about “building the future Liga BPI champion.”

“I foresee a Porto-style future, the way we want it,” said the president, aware that “there is still a gap to close compared to the teams that have been established in the First Division for many years, especially Benfica, which has been dominant in Portuguese women’s football.” Even so, the FC Porto president believes there is “room for growth towards the top” and believes that with Daniel Chaves at the helm “anything is possible”: “We could not be more grateful, honored and proud of the work he has done so far, and that is why we want him to continue leading this project.”

Well-deserved recognition“It was a renewal that had to happen, not only because of Daniel Chaves’s spirit, the true Porto spirit, which transformed the entire women’s football project together with professor José Manuel (Ferreira) and Joana (Oliveira), who have been tireless in building this project, which quickly reached the First Division and now gives us the cherry on top of the cake, which is an early Portuguese Cup final against our historic rival.”

Building a champion“I’m very pleased with this further step; it is confirmation of the good work Daniel has been doing and a huge joy for FC Porto, for this women’s football project that has been embraced by all FC Porto supporters. Now we hope to enjoy the Cup final and that next year will be about building the future Liga BPI champion.”

The success of women’s football“It is the result of a lot of work and of people having clearly embraced this project. Along the way there have been many renewals in the teams and structures, we have more professionals, not only in the technical field but also in the areas surrounding FC Porto’s teams, from performance to the medical department. That innovation has also helped these athletes reach the top, always well guided by Daniel, who also turned out to be a decisive factor.”

From zero to glory“It has been a delightful project from the start and one that has brought us a lot of joy, and that is why this renewal makes perfect sense. Extending Daniel’s story at FC Porto was one of the priorities; we want him to be one of the faces of this project and to lead us to glory in the coming years.”

Optimistic about the future “I foresee a Porto-style future, the way we want it. There is still a gap to close compared to the teams that have been established in the First Division for many years, especially Benfica, which has been dominant in Portuguese women’s football. There is room for growth towards the top, and Daniel has always made us believe, because with him anything is possible. With the support of Joana and professor José Manuel, we have achieved a great deal of success quickly, so as long as we can, we will also dream of good things. We could not be more grateful, honored and proud of the work he has done so far, and that is why we want Daniel to continue leading this project.”
