Nuno Pinto da Costa: “The first good decision” was changing manager | OneFootball

Nuno Pinto da Costa shared on his TikTok account the “first part of the analysis” that he says he wants to make of FC Porto’s season. The grandson of the former Dragons president, to whom Pinto da Costa had left the rights to his name, stressed the importance of the decision by André Villas-Boas’ board to dismiss Martín Anselmi and hand the Dragons’ technical leadership to Francesco Farioli.

“The first good and major decision the board made this year was actually made before this year even started. Last year I had the chance to say what I thought about our previous coach, and the board acknowledged the mistake, so to speak, even though it did not do so publicly, but by making the decision it made, it acknowledged that mistake and cut it off at the root before it lasted too long. So, right after the performance we had at the Club World Cup, FC Porto dispensed with the services of Martín Anselmi, which in my view was the right call, especially because we had a pre-season to prepare and it was concluded that maybe even the playing system was not the one that suited FC Porto,” he said in a video.
