It is often said that when a former footballer starts coaching, his teams look a lot like him, obviously much more on a character level than a technical level. Just think of the almost military conceptions of Conte and Simeone or the liberation of creativity according to Allegri. Sergio Conceiçao is very close to the philosophy of the first two, that certain rigor was also visible with the ball at his feet. A tough character, sometimes too fiery, a logical consequence of someone who has been immediately put to the test by life. The father loved riding a motorbike, the day before he died in a road accident he accompanied his 15-year-old son on his bike to sign with Porto. His mother, already seriously ill and confined to a wheelchair, followed him shortly after. He will find relief and strength in religion and in Liliana, who will become his wife and give birth to their five children. And it is also due to past experiences that he requires extreme discipline from his players, even leading to conflict and rupture if there is no harmony. The success of his ideas has created a very strong bond with Porto, a philosophy that has evolved slightly since the beginning but which remains faithful to its principles.
