Villas-Boas: Representing Porto brings hunger and desire 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 president André Villas-Boas, who effusively praised the work carried out by the coaching staff and the blue and white volleyball players: “First of all, I want to congratulate the team, the technical, medical, and logistical support staff, and of course, the athletes for this first Portuguese Women’s Volleyball Cup for FC Porto,” he began by saying.

Hoping that this triumph will be “the start of a good continuation of a season that has already been marked by so many victories for 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-earned.” The Club president believes that the attitude and performance of the athletes can be “a good omen” for what remains of 2025/26, especially since the League Play-off will begin soon: “I think it’s important for us to reclaim the volleyball title, as last season was marked by not having managed to win the national championship.”

A victory for everyone“First of all, I want to congratulate the team, the technical, medical, and logistical support staff, and of course, the athletes for this first Portuguese Women’s Volleyball Cup for FC Porto. It is something that makes us proud and is the start of a good continuation of a season that has already been marked by so many victories for this team. I also congratulate Mário Santos and Miguel Coelho for their effort and for reinventing this team this year. It’s a whole new generation of athletes, some of whom are already in the process of renewing for next season. This greatly dignifies the work of the scouting teams and also 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-earned against SC Braga. May it be an inspiration for the rest of the season.”

Now we need to reclaim the national title“With the responsibility of representing FC Porto comes 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’s important for us to reclaim the volleyball title, as last season was marked by not having managed to win the national championship. All the examples these athletes have set, the performances they have delivered, and the way they have already managed to win this Portuguese Cup, are a good omen for what remains of the season.”
