A draw at home to Rio Ave on the back of defeat to title rivals Sporting CP has led to Julen Lopetegui losing his job as Porto coach.
Porto has parted company with head coach Julen Lopetegui after faltering in the Primeira Liga title race.
Lopetegui led Porto to second in Portugal's top flight behind Benfica in 2014-15 – his first season in charge at Estadio do Dragao – and his hopes of going one better this time around were severely hit over the past week.
Current leader Sporting CP condemned Porto to its first loss in the league for almost a year on Saturday, Islam Slimani netting a brace, and Wednesday's 1-1 draw at home to Rio Ave left them four points off the pace.
