André Villas-Boas used the editorial of the December issue of Dragões magazine to comment on various topics related to FC Porto and Portuguese football.

After responding to Frederico Varandas and speaking about the appointment of Francesco Farioli, the president of the Dragons also addressed the signing of Thiago Silva.

“Ambition and a sense of responsibility led FC Porto to complete the deal that brought Thiago Silva back. The player, whose story began here, returns to our club 20 years later as the legend he has become. He reached the top of world football as an admired leader, both on and off the pitch, and inspired millions by turning a cruel adversity into a story of overcoming and greatness. Welcome back, Thiago!” it reads.

The central defender joins FC Porto on a free transfer after ending his contract with Fluminense.

In addition, the Porto official emphasized that the club has “legends,” referring to “those who have given themselves to the club with all their soul and heart, who sweat and breathe Porto.” Villas-Boas was speaking about Diogo Costa, who renewed his contract with FC Porto.

“It is an honor for FC Porto to be able to announce today that the renewal of Diogo Costa is a fundamental step not only for the titles we aspire to, but also for the future legacy we want to see projected by those who best represent us. Thank you, Diogo!” he continued.
