FC Porto will continue their pre-season preparations by visiting Austria Vienna on Friday at 6pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The hosts finished seventh in the Austrian Bundesliga last season but managed to secure a place in the Conference League playoffs.<\/p>\n

Porto, meanwhile, came third in Portugal’s top flight, ending up 18 points behind champions Sporting. It was a spectacular fall, having finished two points behind the winners the season before.<\/p>\n

That disappointing campaign spelt the end of S\u00e9rgio Concei\u00e7\u00e3o’s reign as manager. Across seven years, he guided Porto to three championships and three runners-up spots, with the 2023\/24 campaign proving his worst.<\/p>\n

Dragons entering a new era under V\u00edtor Bruno<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The announcement of Concei\u00e7\u00e3o’s successor was swift. V\u00edtor Bruno, who had a modest playing career, became the club’s 13th permanent manager since Jos\u00e9 Mourinho left a decade ago. Even more striking is the fact that this is Bruno’s first managerial job. Up until now, Bruno had served as Concei\u00e7\u00e3o’s right-hand man since they joined Olhanense in 2011. The idea is continuity without making any radical changes.<\/p>\n

“He’s somebody who knows the squad and the club and who is a man of courage, without fear to take on this challenge. We will provide him with everything we have at our disposal,” President Andr\u00e9 Villas-Boas said.<\/p>\n

That being said, he’s gained significant experience leading the first team, having managed the team in 17 matches due to Concei\u00e7\u00e3o’s numerous suspensions. The results have been highly favourable, with 15 victories and two draws. In one of Porto\u2019s worst seasons in their modern history, Bruno led the team to 13 points out of a possible 15 in the 2023\/24 season.<\/p>\n

“It hurts me to talk about this and I say so unreservedly. 13 years leaves a mark on you. I\u2019m very grateful to S\u00e9rgio for everything we went through. I am eternally grateful to him,” Bruno said.<\/p>\n

“I hold no grudges against anyone. I hope that in the last 13 years I have also done my bit to contribute to S\u00e9rgio\u2019s success.”<\/p>\n

In addition to working alongside Concei\u00e7\u00e3o, Bruno’s background is enriched by the fact that he is the son of the well-known Portuguese manager V\u00edtor Manuel, who has coached over 500 top-flight games in Portugal.<\/p>\n
