Tiago Mamede runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 33. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Pedro Virgínia arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Pedro Virgínia has, at Portimonense, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Words at Portimonense training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Elijah Benedict 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.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Tempers go at Portimonense

Wendell was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Manuel Dias on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Manuel Dias after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Santino Gallo Boria dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

A promise honoured for Alexandre Abel

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Portimonense told Alexandre Abel something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Midana Cassamá left out for tactical reasons at Portimonense

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Match19 Dec 2026

Portimonense draw a blank against Oliveirense

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Oliveirense defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Dânio Djassi runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Portimonense

Midana Cassamá and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad19 Oct 2026

The step up is real for João Gabriel

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Wendell gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Wendell has just signed for Portimonense, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Portimonense

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Thauan Lara was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Mo Dauda

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

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Half-satisfied: Manuel Dias on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Match17 Oct 2026

Point won or two lost for Portimonense?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Torreense? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

No place in the plan for Mo Dauda

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
