===Life after Mourinho (2004–2010)===
The successful European performances of Mourinho's Porto enhanced the reputations of the coach and players like Carvalho, Ferreira and Deco, all of whom left the club in the aftermath of the Champions League victory.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mourinho checks in at Chelsea|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/025a-0eaac134a07d-80c40e8db091-1000--mourinho-checks-in-at-chelsea/|publisher=UEFA|access-date=2 July 2014|date=3 June 2004}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Burt|first1=Jason|title=Chelsea sign Carvalho from Porto in £20m deal|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/chelsea-sign-carvalho-from-porto-in-pound20m-deal-6164708.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130708033523/http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/chelsea-sign-carvalho-from-porto-in-pound20m-deal-6164708.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=8 July 2013|work=[[The Independent]]|access-date=2 July 2014|date=28 July 2004}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Chelsea to sign Ferreira|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/3782871.stm|publisher=[[BBC Sport]]|access-date=2 July 2014|date=23 June 2004}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Chelsea sign Barca playmaker Deco|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/7482359.stm|publisher=[[BBC Sport]]|access-date=2 July 2014|date=30 June 2008}}</ref> The following season was an atypical one, as the club had three coaches: [[Luigi Delneri]],{{efn|Delneri never took charge of the team in a competitive match; he was sacked before the start of the season, two months after signing for Porto.<ref>{{cite news|title=Porto dump coach Del Neri|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/3544000.stm|publisher=[[BBC Sport]]|access-date=3 July 2014|date=7 August 2004}}</ref>}} [[Víctor Fernández]] and [[José Couceiro]].

In 2005–06, Dutch coach [[Co Adriaanse]] was picked to reorganise the team and return the club to the top of Portuguese football. His tactical discipline and the contribution of new signings [[Lucho González]] and [[Lisandro López (footballer, born 1983)|Lisandro López]] led the club to not only retake the Primeira Liga title but also secure its fifth domestic double, after beating holders Vitória de Setúbal in the [[2006 Taça de Portugal Final|Taça de Portugal final]].{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=583}} Adriaanse's domestic success did not transfer to the [[2005–06 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]], as Porto finished in the bottom of its group.<ref>{{cite web|title=UEFA Champions League 2005/06&nbsp;– History&nbsp;– Standings|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2005/standings/round=2201/group=2533/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111223163725/http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2005/standings/round=2201/group=2533/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=23 December 2011|publisher=UEFA|access-date=2 July 2014}}</ref>

The club began the 2006–07 season with a new coach, [[Jesualdo Ferreira]], signed from neighbours Boavista. Before Ferreira assumed his role, Porto won the season-opening [[2006 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira|Supertaça]], with former club player [[Rui Barros]] acting as interim coach.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=591}} An experienced head coach, Ferreira had never achieved major club level success, but in his first season in Porto he became national champion for the first time.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jesualdo Ferreira|url=http://www.uefa.com/news/newsid=838099.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140707115510/http://www.uefa.com/news/newsid=838099.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=7 July 2014|publisher=UEFA|access-date=3 July 2014|date=1 June 2010}}</ref> The [[2006–07 Primeira Liga]] title was only secured in a frantic final day, as Porto finished one point above Sporting and two above Benfica.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=597}} The following season, the club achieved the ''Tri'' for the second time in its history&nbsp;– with López clinching the top goalscorer award&nbsp;– but lost the [[2008 Taça de Portugal Final|Taça]] and [[2007 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira|Supertaça finals]] to Sporting CP.{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=598}} In May 2008, as result of Apito Dourado, a legal investigation on [[match fixing]] in Portuguese football, Porto was fined €150,000 and punished with the loss of six points, while Pinto da Costa was suspended for two years.<ref name=apito>{{cite web|title=Apito Final&nbsp;– FC Porto perde seis pontos, Pinto da Costa suspenso por dois anos, Boavista despromovido|trans-title=Final Whistle&nbsp;– FC Porto lose six points, Pinto da Costa suspended for two years, Boavista relegated|url=https://noticias.sapo.pt/lusa/artigo/5f4b0a43f4bc115e718378.html|website=SAPO Notícias|publisher=SAPO|access-date=4 July 2014|language=pt|date=9 May 2008|archive-date=16 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170916081517/http://noticias.sapo.pt/lusa/artigo/5f4b0a43f4bc115e718378.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> Porto did not appeal the decision.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://web3.cmvm.pt/sdi2004/emitentes/docs/FR18564.pdf|title=Comunicado|date=9 May 2009|website=[[CMVM]]|publisher=F.C.

Having claimed a sixth league and cup double in the 2008–09 season,{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=606}} Porto was on course to emulate the ''Penta'' of the late 1990s, but the series was broken by Benfica in [[2009–10 Primeira Liga|the following season]].{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=615–623}} Although Ferreira won his first [[2009 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira|Supertaça]] and [[2009 Taça de Portugal Final|defended the Taça de Portugal title]], the team's failure to claim a fifth consecutive league&nbsp;– finishing third, outside the Champions League-qualifying places&nbsp;– and a 3–0 defeat against Benfica in [[2010 Taça da Liga Final|the final]] of the [[Taça da Liga]] contributed to his resignation at the end of the season. A home win against Benfica prevented the rivals from celebrating the league title at the [[Estádio do Dragão]].{{sfn|Tovar|2011|pp=615–623}} Under Ferreira's steering, Porto always qualified for the Champions League knockout stage, reaching the [[2008–09 UEFA Champions League|quarter-finals in 2008–09]], where it was eliminated by holders Manchester United.<ref>{{cite web|title=UEFA Champions League 2008/09&nbsp;– History|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2009/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110924062416/http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2009/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=24 September 2011|publisher=UEFA|access-date=5 July 2014}}</ref>
