FC Porto has made a definitive decision to retain Vítor Bruno as their head coach for the foreseeable future, following his impressive performance since taking over from Sérgio Conceição earlier this year. Bruno, a long-time assistant to Conceição, was promoted to the top role in June 2024 with a contract running until 2026. This marks his first full-time head coaching role after successfully managing Porto on an interim basis in the past.
Under Bruno’s leadership, Porto has enjoyed a remarkable start to the 2024/25 season. The team has displayed an aggressive, high-intensity playing style, blending tactical innovations with strong defensive organization. Highlights include a flawless pre-season, a dramatic victory in the Portuguese Super Cup against Sporting Lisbon, and a perfect start in the Primeira Liga, where the team remains unbeaten and has yet to concede a goal.
Bruno’s success is rooted in his deep understanding of the squad, having worked closely with the players as an assistant. This familiarity, combined with the support of club president André Villas-Boas and sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta, has provided a stable environment for his strategies to thrive.
Looking forward, Porto is aiming to sustain their dominance domestically and make significant strides in European competitions. With key players like Galeno and Diogo Costa in top form, and Bruno’s tactical acumen at the helm, optimism is high among fans and the club’s management.
