José Mourinho stated that he met and hugged André Villas-Boas, president of FC Porto, at the end of the match. In a press conference, after the goalless draw between Benfica and FC Porto, the Eagles’ coach commented on the reception at Estádio do Dragão:

“History doesn’t change. My gratitude to FC Porto also remains the same. I don’t know if their gratitude towards me changes or not. I had a calm match, focused on my work, trying to help my team. I had already played here with Chelsea and I can’t say that during the match I felt anything special.”

“What the president [Villas-Boas] said before the match is normal. How should I be received? I should be received as Benfica’s coach… And that’s what happened. After the match, I met him in the corridor: as friends, we hugged and life goes on,” concluded José Mourinho.
