Sporting has filed a disciplinary complaint against the president of Porto, André Villas Boas. The complaint lodged by the Alvalade Club is based on the statements made by the leader of the blues and whites, on the sidelines of the Portugal Football Globes Gala.

The lion emblem believes that the words of the highest official of the blues and whites infringe upon the honor of Frederico Varandas and the reputation of the SAD lion. It should be remembered that the president of Porto criticized the alleged meeting between the official and Pedro Proença "to map out the social organs of the Federation".

"These are serious statements. After the statements on this subject, I wrote a message to the president of the Federation, Pedro Proença, because if his motto is to unite football, such statements cannot go unpunished," said Villas Boas, in the City of Football.

André Villas Boas emphasized that, if the meeting referred to by Varandas actually took place, the clubs have the right to be informed and demand transparency: "There can be no mapping of the social organs of the FPF without all the clubs being informed of the same. Or, at least, that it be public and not between two people. I find the statements serious. If this meeting happened, if this mapping happened, we all have the right to know who these people are."

The highest leader of Porto made a direct appeal to Pedro Proença, asking him to exercise his leadership role and put an end to the controversy with clarity and firmness. "If you want to unite, you have to step forward and, once and for all, reaffirm your authority" (Remember HERE).
