2004–05 FC Porto season
FC Porto 2004–05 football season / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FC Porto followed up its UEFA Champions League victory with a chaotic season, following the departure of coach José Mourinho and several key players.[1] Initial coach Luigi Delneri was sacked even before the season started, due to too little presence in his new town in pre-season. New signings Ricardo Quaresma, Pepe, Giourkas Seitaridis, Luís Fabiano, Raul Meireles and Diego looked spectacular on paper, but in reality, Porto had a miserable offensive performance, culminating in just 39 league goals and a loss of the league title to arch rivals Benfica. As a consolation, it won the Intercontinental Cup title with a victory against Once Caldas on penalties.
