Vitor Pereira to continue at FC Porto despite calls for sacking – Primeira Liga News
According to reports, Vitor Pereira, is likely to continue at FC Porto despite the calls for his sacking. The tactician has come under fire after the Dragons defeat against Academica but is still not going to be removed, as he has the support of Nuno Pinto

Taking over from Andre Villas-Boas at Estadio do Dragao was going to be a challenge for any manager. The 33-year-old had guided http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 to a quadruple in his maiden season and replicating his feats at the helm was going to be quite an arduous task.
With the sale of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276, the quality of the Portistas deteriorated further and it placed new boss Vitor Pereira under pressure immediately.
The Colombian had been integral to Porto’s trophy haul and had formed a fruitful partnership with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436, netting 38 times himself during the course of the 2010/2011 campaign.
However with his departure, the Portuguese champions have been struggling and it has been there for all to see. In the UEFA Champions League, the Dragons have failed miserably and have only managed to win one game so far.
Although placed 2nd in the Liga Sagres rankings, Porto have failed to demonstrate the kind of form which enabled to win all the silverware on the domestic front.
Their latest showing against Academica ended in a 3-0 defeat and it has propelled many to exclaim that Pereira should be fired from his post at the club.
While the result did knock the stuffing out of Porto, they are still unlikely to react in such a manner and fire the tactician. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuno-Pinto-c28241 da Costa, the president of the club, is reportedly on the trainer’s side and is not going to part ways with him
so quickly.
Although there is no immediate threat to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984.
That places the manager in a dire situation where his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 is on the line and his team are under-performing in all competitions.
