Sérgio Ferreira's successor at FC Porto to be known by next week | OneFootball

After some time waiting, Sérgio Ferreira was finally made official at Alverca, leaving FC Porto’s under-19s, who were crowned national champions. The 38-year-old coach heads to Ribatejo accompanied by assistant Silvestre Varela, fitness coach João Magalhães, and analyst João Santos. Also moving from the Olival academy to the Primeira Liga is André Baptista, who was João Brandão’s assistant with the B team.

At this level, the new coaching staff has already been announced, with Abel Pimenta arriving as assistant and Ricardo Ribeiro as goalkeeping coach, while the new under-19 head coach, according to information gathered by Portal dos Dragões, should be known by next week. At the same time, Porto’s structure intends to resolve the situation internally. After all, it is not only the players who develop at Olival; the coaches progress as well, and the most recent results, as is well known, could hardly have been better: for the third time in their history, the Dragons completed a clean sweep in youth development by winning the under-19, under-17, and under-15 titles, and nine academy players will be involved tomorrow at the start of pre-season.
