The 46-year-old coach reached the fifth trophy in the dragons with the victory in the Super Cup
The Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup victory allowed Sérgio Conceição to finish 2020 at the top, but the year 2021 may mark the 46-year-old’s entry into the history of FC Porto.
With the victory against Benfica, Conceição reached the fifth Blue and White title and was in a privileged position to ascend to the throne of coach with the most trophies won at the club, in possession of Artur Jorge since the late 1980s and early 1990s. you have to do is win at least the internal competitions that you have to play this year: the championship, the Portuguese Cup and the League Cup. If we add the Champions League to him, much more difficult given the ferocity of the competition, he would even isolate himself against “King Arthur”.
The five titles won by Sérgio Conceição in three and a half seasons at FC Porto place him, for now, in third place in this table. The 46-year-old coach shares a position with the renowned José Maria Pedroto, with whom he has been compared by Pinto da Costa, Bobby Robson and Fernando Santos. However, the promotion to second place, occupied by Jesualdo Ferreira and José Mourinho, may even come next month if he becomes the first coach in the history of the Blue and Whites to lift the only trophy that is missing from the club’s window: the League Cup. The rest will be decided in May.
Of the 68 coaches (including interim) who have guided FC Porto since the start of the main national competitions, 24 managed to place a trophy in the club’s museum. The first was Joseph Szabo, one of the 17 who managed to win the most important competition internally: the championship.
The Hungarian won the first, in the already distant 1934/35 season. However, only twelve managed to join the League to the Portuguese Cup and only nine won these two events and also the Super Cup. Artur Jorge and José Mourinho were the only ones who said goodbye to the dragons with all the internal competitions and, at least, an international one in the curriculum, although not all the conquests had been in the same year. André Villas-Boas “failed” the League Cup, proof that it did not exist with the previous ones. But he won all four trophies in one season.
