Football Season Guide

Back at top flight 19 years later and a very tough sequence of events after. Farense got down very deep to III Divisão (equivalent to 4th division), but are finally back to the top level of the country. Last season finished second, 6 points away from competition, and celebrated access to Primeira Liga. Former Moreirense gaffer, Sérgio Vieira was the mastermind behind Farense's success, last year, and will try to operate a similar achievement this time around. Scottish midfielder Ryan Gauld was the stand out, last season, finally showing the potential that once worth him the "Scottish Messi" nickname. Falcão, Mansilla and Stojilkovic are good signings with proven value at top flight, but the team will heavily rely on the squad that brought them up to Primeira Liga, last season.
