André Villas-Boas on Sérgio Conceição: “A model leader at FC Porto” | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas attended the ECO Festival in Lisbon, where, on Wednesday morning, he took part in a panel dedicated to various topics. Asked about some of the decisions he has had to make since taking over the FC Porto presidency, he spoke about Sérgio Conceição and the influence the coach had on the club.

“These are decisions that have to be made. Sérgio Conceição is the most successful coach in FC Porto’s history. He was an exemplary leader in FC Porto’s history,” he said.

“FC Porto once again focused on managing its resources, economic responsibility, managing the few financial assets it has, and restructuring the debt. These were the breakaway decisions that, basically, we made,” he also said about the major changes he had to make when he took office.

Possibility of a Portuguese team winning the Champions League

“I would say the UEFA Champions League is practically impossible. The Premier League has shot up to stratospheric levels in terms of purchasing power and financing. It is on another level. There should also be a Brexit for European competitions. The others [European competitions] are possible, but that is where nobody wants to be. We all want to be in the most important competitions, and that is the Champions League.”
