We are tied with the 5th, by the look of things we won't secure 4th and lose it for our biggest rival and miss europa league qualifiers.
But even if we finish 4th is bad season because there is a big difference between being 4th but being close to the top or being 4th 15/20 distance from 1st place.
To finish 4th we don't need to spend 26M€ each season. 12 should be enough.
The clown has been doing an horrible job since he entered the club. His defense is a nightmare, but he was saved by the attack: he scored more than suffered (2 or more goals in Braga matches is a safe bet). Past season he made a perfect record against minnow teams in the league. In europe league for the first time we got eliminated, we where humiliated by Fiorentina in conference league, humiliated by sporting in leagie cup and in portuguese cup final we managed to be absolutely harmless. We finished in 3rd? Because sporting underperformed. Like this season finishing third would be possible because Porto is very weak
Benfica last season had a fantastic great 1st half of season and a not so great 2nd half. They were champions, so they were happy with the coach.
The same coach that made a disaster campaing in champions league, in league cup and will loose the league. Bad coachs do win to but if they stay time enough they will turn strong players, into weak players.
