Francisco Conceição - the Manager’s Son

jxo855

Very few footballers in their life will have the opportunity to play under their father but Francisco is lucky enough to be one of these players. His dad Sérgio is the current manager of Porto where his son plays as a forward.



Although he is an up and coming talent, he has not had much experience at the top level yet, with only making 26 senior appearances in the league for Porto. However, having watched a few cameo appearances from the bench it is clear that the 19 year old has a bright future ahead of him. He has also played for the youth teams in the national team, Portugal, but has yet to make the senior squad. He recently came on to score a 90th minute winner for Porto against G.D. Estoril Praia, to help them win 3-2, which helped them keep a 3 point gap at the top of the division.


Although he is a forward (he mainly plays as a striker), he is quite short in stature. He is a quick and agile player who has been compared to the likes of Messi and Maradona due to the lack of height and close ball control. He still has many many years of football ahead of him and I am convinced he will learn more about how to play as a top striker, in a competitive league. I am sure his dad, who made over 50 appearances for the Portuguese national team, will help him become a better player as he gains more experience.
