The tributes to Pinto da Costa, on the day marking one year since his death, multiplied throughout this Sunday. This afternoon, Vítor Baía also posted on social media a message dedicated to the man who was his president while he defended FC Porto’s goal and whom he served as ‘vice’ in his last term, until 2024.
“Today is a day to pay tribute to the memory of FC Porto’s eternal president, Pinto da Costa, the greatest leader in the history of football, a pillar of FC Porto’s national and international affirmation and of its city, and of Portuguese football, the ultimate example of leadership and vision – whom I had the honor to serve both as a footballer and as a sports manager, at the height and at the farewell of his legacy. I have built and will continue to build my career following his best example. Thank you for everything, president,” it reads.
