The former communication director of FC Porto, Francisco J. Marques, spoke out this Thursday about the expulsion of three club members – Sandra Madureira, Vítor Catão, and Vítor Aleixo – and criticized the stance of president André Villas‑Boas (AVB).

In a social media post, Francisco J. Marques wrote “great leaders unite and become stronger,” emphasizing that the current management missed the chance to bring together the various factions within the Porto community. In the same post, he accused AVB of choosing “to continue being the president of some against others” and described the decision as a result of “a gigantic lack of vision.”

The expulsions of the three members have sparked internal controversy, reigniting divisions between supporters of the current management and those of the previous administration. The FC Porto management has not yet responded to the criticisms.
