The return of [[José Maria Pedroto]]&nbsp;– a former Porto player and head coach in the late 1960s&nbsp;– in the 1976–77 season started a new chapter in the club's history. Responsible for the previous cup triumph in 1968, Pedroto guided Porto to its fourth title in the competition.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=349}} In the following season, he put an end to Porto's league title drought, winning the championship 19 years after having played in the team that took the last title.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=355}} Internationally, Porto reached the quarter-finals of the [[1977–78 European Cup Winners' Cup|1977–78 Cup Winners' Cup]], beating [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] along the way,<ref>{{cite web|title=1977/78: Two out of three for Anderlecht|url=http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/ecwc/history/season=1977/intro.html|publisher=UEFA|access-date=26 June 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100503064813/http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/ecwc/history/season%3D1977/intro.html|archive-date=3 May 2010}}</ref> but suffered its heaviest defeat (6–1) against [[AEK Athens F.C.|AEK Athens]] in the [[1978–79 European Cup|subsequent season's European Cup]].<ref name="uefa profile"/> A poor run of performances in the latter part of the season&nbsp;– resulting in the loss of the league and cup titles&nbsp;– sparked a conflict between the technical staff and president Américo de Sá, which ended with the resignation of Pedroto and his replacement by [[Hermann Stessl]].{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=368, 377}} In December 1981, Porto overcame Benfica to win the inaugural staging of the Portuguese Super Cup, the [[Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira]].<ref name="supertaça">{{cite web|last1=Claro|first1=Paulo|title=Portugal&nbsp;– List of Super Cup winners|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesp/portsupcuphist.html|access-date=26 June 2014|website=[[RSSSF]]|date=15 August 2013}}</ref>

Pedroto returned in April 1982 by the hand of the club's newly elected president [[Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa]], who had resigned as director of football, two years before, in solidarity with the coach.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=391}} The previous month, Porto fell again in the Cup Winners' Cup quarter-finals against one of the eventual finalists,<ref>{{cite web|title=1981/82: Home sweet home for Barcelona|url=http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/ecwc/history/season=1981/intro.html|publisher=UEFA|access-date=26 June 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100503061957/http://en.archive.uefa.com/competitions/ecwc/history/season%3D1981/intro.html|archive-date=3 May 2010}}</ref> but needed only two years to finally reach the [[1984 European Cup Winners' Cup Final|competition's final]].
