Pinto da Costa snubbed peace gesture: new Villas-Boas book reveals

The book by Octávio Lousada Oliveira, ‘Capitão de Abril’, hits the shelves on Tuesday, the 9th. According to Portal dos Dragões, the work focuses mainly on the 2024 electoral campaign that brought André Villas-Boas to the presidency of FC Porto and thoroughly analyzes his early days leading the club. An excerpt also reveals how the current president, the day after the elections – during the classic match against Sporting at the Dragão (2-2), on April 28 – immediately tried to bury the hatchet he had wielded against Pinto da Costa during the campaign, but without success.
