Desporto André Villas-Boas

André Villas-Boas, president-elect of FC Porto, was present this Wednesday in the stands of Dragão Arena to watch the duel between FC Porto and Colégio Efanor, a match that decides the title of national women's volleyball champion.
Upon entering the match, the former coach stressed the importance of taking office early, on May 7, demanding speed in the transfer of files between the two boards. "We can already consider May 7 a victory, thanks to Dr. Lourenço Pinto and his efforts, we managed to move some days forward. It is not a great victory, because in a situation like this, especially with such an expressive triumph, the processes should be accelerated. Taking into account the history of Mr. President, we should respect, but it does not satisfy us in any way. There are very hot topics to resolve, a huge treasury problem that needs to be tackled as soon as possible. Tomorrow we expect maximum cooperation from FC Porto's SAD in order to co-opt Dr. Pereira da Costa to start his duties at SAD and have some control over documents, orders and all the contracts to which we must have access", André Villas-Boas told reporters, quoted by the newspaper O Jogo, before speaking about taking office. "It depends a little on the humility of people in realizing that this electoral was expressive, it has already happened in other clubs that people had the humility to understand the moment. The moment is over, the members dictated a resounding victory and there is no reason at all for these people to continue in office. Therefore, we expect maximum cooperation from them. There has already been a first meeting in recent days between the parties, which satisfied us, but we need to start speeding up processes because we are already very late in the season and there are many decisions to be made", he continued. "There are many issues that are not so easy to solve from a legal and bureaucratic point of view, because basically the club is being taken over, but there are situations where we will not be able to intervene if there is no maximum cooperation from the corporate bodies of the public limited company [SAD]. Therefore, in other clubs there was immediate resignation, there were general meetings to dismiss the corporate bodies that were scheduled in advance, in this case there is not and I see no reason why this should continue to happen. We hope that there will be news, I would like to have that confidence, but it will depend on people and their humility and respect for the opinion of the members", he also stressed, before talking about the registration of 2,500 new members in three days. "Good news, of course, is somewhat in line with what people were saying at the campaign headquarters, that in case of victory they would become members again, many for the first time. This is an expressive factor. I would like to make a request to non-members, fans and supporters, so that, when we take office, we can also launch a new campaign to attract members and that this creates a new dynamic for attracting members. I think it is also urgent to review the entire database of FC Porto members, update it and from there launch new campaigns that manage and make the most of this moment", he concluded.
