The hacker, one of the protagonists of “Football Leaks”, believes that the manager defeated at the polls this Saturday was “surrounded by parasites” and “almost led FC Porto to collapse”.
Hacker Rui Pinto, a self-confessed supporter of FC Porto, criticized Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa this Sunday, after the outcome of the blue and white club’s elections became known, which dictated the victory of André Villas-Boas and the end of a “reign”. 42 years old.
One of those responsible for the “Football Leaks” begins by designating the still president of FC Porto, Pinto da Costa, as “an idol of many” and the “president of presidents”. However, Rui Pinto considers that the leader “is leaving through the small door, through his own fault, after more than a decade of catastrophic management”.
But Rui Pinto’s criticisms don’t stop there. The hacker believes that the leader defeated at the polls this Saturday was “surrounded by parasites” and “almost led FC Porto to collapse”. For Rui Pinto, the time is to “look to the future and the future is André Villas-Boas!”.
Former FC Porto coach, André Villas-Boas is about to become the 34th president in the club’s history, breaking a ‘reign’ of more than four decades by Pinto da Costa, following the most attended election in always, with more than 26,000 voters.
The unprecedented election of André Villas-Boas, aged 46, implies the end of the presidential ‘reign’ of Pinto da Costa, aged 86, who had already commanded FC Porto since April 17, 1982, becoming, since then, the manager with the most titles and longevity in world football.
The elections for FC Porto’s governing bodies for the four-year period 2024-2028 are contested by three candidates, led by Pinto da Costa (list A), André Villas-Boas (B), former coach of the football team, and Nuno Lobo (list C), businessman and professor, also including an independent list for the Superior Council led by Miguel Brás da Cunha (D)
