From the 2001/02 season he played again for Deportivo La Coruña, where he also completed some appearances in the Spanish league and the Champions League .
In July 2002, Espírito Santo moved from La Coruña to FC Porto for three million euros . He spent the most successful period of his professional career in Porto under José Mourinho , being part of the team that won the 2003 UEFA Cup , the Portuguese Championship and the Portuguese Cup, and the 2004 Champions League and again the Portuguese Championship. At the end of the year he also won the World Cup against Once Caldas . In that game he was substituted on for Vitor Baía , who was injured during the game.
At the beginning of 2005 he then moved to Russia to Dynamo Moscow , but without fighting for a regular place. In the 2006/07 season he moved back to Portugal to Desportivo Aves , but without being able to prevent relegation. At the beginning of the 2007/08 season he moved back to FC Porto, where he immediately became Portuguese champion again. After the 2009/10 season, he ended his career.
