From the first days, his leadership has been inspiring, summoning everyone to a rigorous collective commitment, which is felt in each training and each game", wrote the director, who already sees on the field "a more enlightened, intense and motivated team".

"We witness in each game a total commitment from the players, solidarity among all and a deep respect for the FC Porto symbol and for the fans.
