Nuno Pinto da Costa: My grandfather never expelled a member | OneFootball

Nuno Pinto da Costa, grandson of the former president of FC Porto, continues to closely follow the current affairs of the dragons and does not hold back criticism of the current leadership. In an interview with ‘Jornal de Notícias’, he admits that many, including himself, considered Villas-Boas the natural successor to Pinto da Costa “but not in the way he did it.”

“He could perfectly have Porto in his hands, have FC Porto united. And, at this moment, that is not happening. (…) There is still an incredible persecution of all those who disagree with the current management. My grandfather faced strong opposition. Did he ever expel a member? Never,” he stated, referring to the “attacks” and rumors that arose after the death of Pinto da Costa in February. “It doesn’t bother me, I’m just saddened when those I care about insult me. (…) Inheritance? If he wanted to give me everything, to the neighbor, or to anyone else, it was a situation that concerned only him.”
