On the day when Andre Villas-Boas, the former coach of the main football team, ran for the presidency of FC Porto, names such as Jorge Costa, a former player, Helton, a former goalkeeper or former deputy Carlos Abreu Amorim, expressed support project.
Jorge Costa, the current AVS coach, explained that he is “supporting a friend” and is confident that the change will be a “breath of fresh air” for Porto.
“I am for Porto.” I would be bad and very ungrateful if I opposed anyone. Now I would like to have another Porto. And I am all for Porto,” explained Jorge Costa. .
The former Blaugrana player also commented on accusations leveled against him that he is a “traitor” for supporting a candidate other than current President Pinto da Costa: “People are free to express their opinions, just as I can be here to show your support for Andre. I want you to continue to support FC Porto, as I have always done and continue to do, and make it clear that there is no one person who is higher than FC Porto.”
Former goalkeeper Helton emphasized the only candidate promoted by Andre Villas-Boas, never opposing the current president.
“One of the things I see from the presentation of this candidacy is that Andre Villas-Boas never mentioned that he was against Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa. For me this is already a very big change. This is not due to rivalry, but rather to attachment to the club, the ability to manage it and give it your best,” he emphasized.
Former MP Carlos Abreu Amorim noted the presence of Angelino Ferreira, former financial administrator of FC Porto, at the ceremony and called it something positive.
“Angelina Ferreira is a guarantee. While he was in charge of Porto’s finances, nothing of the sort happened and that cannot be denied. When he left, finances fell. This is an observation. With a balanced team, I hope to go around Cape Tormentas with Andre Villas-Boas and move on to the Cape of Good Hope,” he said.
Andre Villas-Boas also had the support of Cecilia Pedroto and the family: Sebastian Feio de Azevedo (former dean of the University of Porto), António Sousa (former football player), Ricardo Sousa (football coach), Maniche (former football player). , Daniel Souza (Aroca’s coach and former assistant in Andre Villas-Boas’s technical teams), Nuno Encarnaçao (politician), Nuno Valente (former footballer), Rolando (former footballer), Helton (former footballer), Thiago Mayan Gonçalves (former candidate for IL Public Relations), Angelino Ferreira (former financial administrator of SAD), Wil Koort (former assistant of Co Adriaanse) and others.
