Star man - Claudio Pitbull

Claudio Pitbull teams up again with coach Carlos Carvalhal, with both men no doubt keen to repeat the fabulous season they enjoyed togeter in 2007/08 at Setubal. There, player of the season Pitbull drove the Sadinos to a 6th place finish and Carlsberg Cup glory, before trying his luck in Romania with Rapid Bucharest.

The inventive and skilful Brazilian has spent the last four seasons on loan at various clubs after failing to break into the first team at FC Porto. Pitbull will be desperate to repeat his stellar season of two years ago to finally convince the hierarchy at Porto he is worthy of place in their squad.
