Varandas files disciplinary complaint against Sporting’s rival president | OneFootball

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

The leonine club considers that the words of the top official of the blues and whites are an affront to the honor of Frederico Varandas and the reputation of the leonine SAD. It should be recalled that the president of Porto criticized the alleged meeting between the official and Pedro Proença "to map out the club affiliations of the Federation's governing bodies."

"These are serious statements. After those remarks on the subject, I sent a message to the president of the Federation, Pedro Proença, because if his motto is to unite football, statements like these cannot go unpunished," said Villas Boas, at the City of Football.

André Villas Boas emphasized that, if the meeting mentioned by Varandas really took place, the clubs have the right to be informed and to demand transparency: "There cannot be a mapping of the FPF's governing bodies without all the clubs being informed about it. Or, at the very least, it should be public and not just between two people. I consider these statements to be serious. If that meeting happened, if that mapping happened, we all have the right to know who those people are."

The top leader of Porto made a direct appeal to Pedro Proença, asking him to exercise his leadership role and to put an end to the controversy with clarity and firmness. “If he wants to unite, he has to step up and, once and for all, reaffirm his authority” (Read HERE).
