The Disciplinary Council (CD) of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) opened, this Monday, disciplinary proceedings against FC Porto SAD, its president André Villas-Boas, and forward Vangelis Pavlidis.
The Greek Benfica player is being investigated following the complaint filed by FC Porto regarding the elbow to Gabri Veiga, which occurred in the opening moments of the clássico at Estádio do Dragão on October 5, corresponding to Matchday 8 of the League.
Villas-Boas was targeted with proceedings after a complaint filed by Sporting, which accuses the leader of the Dragons of statements made on the sidelines of the Portugal Football Globes Gala that, according to the Lions, offend the honor of Frederico Varandas and the reputation of Sporting’s SAD. Among other details, the coach alleged a secret meeting between Varandas and the FPF president, Pedro Proença, to discuss the club mapping of the institution.
FC Porto SAD also faces proceedings brought by the Portuguese Football Referees Association (APAF), stemming from accusations directed at referee Vítor Ferreira on the club’s website and social media, after his refereeing in the B team’s defeat to Torreense, in a Matchday 7 game of the Second League, on October 5.
