André Villas-Boas slams VAR: “One of our biggest shames” | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas took part as a speaker at the Portugal Football Summit and, as president of FC Porto, pointed out several challenges for the evolution of football in Portugal.

“There are several challenges. VAR is not 100% operational in the Primeira and Segunda Liga. It’s one of the biggest shames we can face. Having club presidents who refuse to invest and wait for the FPF is a shame. We need help from the League and the Federation, strong presidents, and to hold presidents’ summits where things are discussed. I am the president of FC Porto, I defend FC Porto’s interests, but for that I need to see the Portuguese football brand grow. I’m raising the alarm on different topics. Pedro Proença achieved the miracle of voting for sports betting revenue to be centralized. We have a record distribution amount; it is the only club that distributes to the Primeira and Segunda Liga. The big clubs don’t want to lose out because the added value is at this level.”
