Villas-Boas pays tribute: Jorge Costa will always be FC Porto | OneFootball

Jorge Costa was honored this Tuesday by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) and recognized as a distinguished athlete. In a video, former national team and FC Porto teammates, such as Costinha and Domingos Paciência, recalled the grit and commitment of the “beast” on the field, as well as his ability to be a good listener off the pitch.

André Villas-Boas, president of the Porto club, also left a message for the former sporting director: “Jorge carried a mystique that filled rooms. He has left us physically, but he will always be a part of FC Porto.”

Diogo Costa, FC Porto’s goalkeeper, stated that Jorge Costa is an inspiration. “When you talk about Jorge Costa, the word leadership comes to mind. We’re talking about someone who is an example at FC Porto. He was a conqueror, a warrior, he gave everything on the field. He was truly great. I really want to represent him every day, follow his example, and transmit energy to the whole group,” said Diogo Costa, Porto’s goalkeeper.
