Market17 Jan 2028

Francisco Ramos asks to leave Pacos de Ferreira

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market17 Jan 2028

AVS come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Pacos de Ferreira did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad17 Jan 2028

Nito says Pacos de Ferreira went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market17 Jan 2028

Miguel Falé attracts admirers

The name of Miguel Falé has come up in conversations Pacos de Ferreira were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Match15 Jan 2028

4 matches without a win for Pacos de Ferreira

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Pacos de Ferreira are no longer polite ones.

Squad17 Jan 2028

Rodrigo Mora in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Pacos de Ferreira this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad17 Jan 2028

Words at Pacos de Ferreira training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rafael Barbosa is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings17 Jan 2028

Rodrigo Mora runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match15 Jan 2028

Pacos de Ferreira and Tondela cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Tondela came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Boardroom6 Sep 2027

The caretaker keeps it: Hugo Pereira confirmed

A month of looking elsewhere ended where it started. He already knows every name in the building; the rest of it he now has to prove in public.

Match4 Sep 2027

7 matches without a win for Pacos de Ferreira

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Pacos de Ferreira are no longer polite ones.

Squad6 Sep 2027

A one-man rearguard from Freddie Woodman

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Rodrigo Mora in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Pacos de Ferreira this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Real improvement from Manuel Simões at Pacos de Ferreira

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Manuel Simões is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Ibrahima Ba has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

The terraces6 Sep 2027

Pacos de Ferreira supporters have found a favourite in Miguel Falé

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Miguel Falé has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings6 Sep 2027

A masterclass from Miguel Falé

Marked 8.25 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Market6 Sep 2027

Nito told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Nito has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Pacos de Ferreira.

From our football correspondent Crisis

The terraces7 Dec 2026

The mood at Pacos de Ferreira has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Boardroom7 Dec 2026

The scrutiny sharpens at Pacos de Ferreira

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Pacos de Ferreira is running low.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Nito: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Pacos de Ferreira have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match5 Dec 2026

4 matches without a win for Pacos de Ferreira

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Pacos de Ferreira are no longer polite ones.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Words at Pacos de Ferreira training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rafael Barbosa is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Eboué Kouassi in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Pacos de Ferreira this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad7 Dec 2026

No hiding place for Rafael Barbosa

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Rafael Barbosa, and the manager let it.

Match5 Dec 2026

Pacos de Ferreira come up short against Feirense

Feirense left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Loan watch7 Dec 2026

Rafa Oliveira has seen enough of AVS

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Pacos de Ferreira, and 0 appearances in 17 say he has earned the hearing.
