Villas-Boas names Mora lawyer, reveals apology, warns on disrespect | OneFootball

The editorial by André Villas-Boas in the August issue of Dragões magazine, published this Tuesday, is marked by strong criticism of lawyer Luís Miguel Henrique.

André Villas-Boas challenges Luís Miguel Henrique’s involvement in the transfer process of Rodrigo Mora to Roma. The FC Porto president accuses the lawyer of seeking the spotlight in a deal in which, from his perspective, he had no influence whatsoever. Villas-Boas also believes the statements went beyond professional boundaries, stressing that the player’s parents distanced themselves from his words and that the agent ended up apologizing to the club.

“To complete the picture, in the middle of the negotiations for Rodrigo Mora’s transfer to AS Roma, an opportunist looking for a stage entered the scene: a commentator, a figure entirely peripheral and irrelevant to the whole process, but thirsty for the spotlight. His legal services had zero influence on the outcome of the negotiations between the clubs, but his unfortunate opinions forced the player’s parents to distance themselves from his words and the player’s agent to apologize to the Institution. The immorality of his position and the disclosure of the details of the deal clash with the duty of confidentiality and professional discretion that governs lawyers. His disrespect toward FC Porto and, above all, toward FC Porto’s coach, will never be forgotten.”
