Porto have named Jose Couceiro as their new coach as successor to Victor Fernandez.
Fernandez was sacked as Porto coach on Monday just six months after arriving at the European champions.
Porto have struggled this season despite making the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League and currently sit in third spot in their domestic league.
Couceiro had been strongly linked with the role after impressing at Vitoria Setubal.
The 42-year-old has signed an 18-month deal at Estadio do Dragao.
Couceiro becomes Porto's third coach of the season after short ill-fated spells for Luigi Delneri and Fernandez.
Hopefully he's a poor European competition coach. :D
