Message to members: I leave a message of unity, strength. FC Porto must quickly find the national title. It is the main source of our motivation. We are a team made to win, with an enviable curriculum and a legacy that fills us with responsibility, so, first of all, I thank you for the trust placed in me, and I hope to meet the demand. It is a greater commitment. I will always be the carrier of your portism. I hope to live up to the challenge.

Appeal to SAD: This is all a very sensitive situation. No one wants to jeopardize a smooth transition by the board, which is confirmed today. Time is pressing, because there are fundamental decisions that need to be made. A situation like this, and we have had countless examples in Portuguese football, does not benefit anyone. It would always be a resignation that would facilitate the decision-making processes of the board and a point of reference for employees who are between the president of a club and that of a SAD. I cannot make any more requests, it is up to them to assume that the faster this transition is, the better. The reality is that May 30 or 31 is late. We want to do everything to ensure that this will be a quick and respected transition for all the elements that have given so much to FC Porto. The members dictated a change, and that change must be respected. If it can be shortened with a sense of responsibility, so much the better. I can't do anything else, it's up to them to decide. We are working today, and, as in the rest of my life, I arrived early at work, and that's how I intend to stay in the coming days. The first meetings with the employees, getting to know the teams and embracing this project body and soul.

High Performance Center: For now, there were initial conversations with the mayors, which went quite well. There is openness from both of them for both projects. These are projects that do not have much to do, especially from the point of view of unity, speed and cost of work. It is a major decision, of great responsibility, that must be made. Gradually, we will take care of the files to make the best decision. We had a meeting to understand the Maia academy, and the truth is that I still need to have the financial project to choose the best solution for the future of FC Porto. They are two very different projects. There is one that is faster, more efficient and unitary, and another that is a work that dignifies FC Porto and its training, but with other types of costs and considerations. Maximum attention to both projects. The decision that is made will be the best for the future of FC Porto.

Objectives for next season: The sports belong to the club, and Mário Santos is already in office, with some limitations and considerations from some directors and vice-presidents linked to the sports. We took this into consideration, and Mário Santos met with them to ensure that the transition was smooth. From the point of view of the football team, it is a more sensitive process. We are talking about SAD, but it will not prevent us from holding the meetings we have to do. I intend, this week, to introduce myself and my team at Olival, to the players, to start building the future of FC Porto.

Pinto da Costa wants to be on the bench, in Jamor: From the point of view of exchanging documentation, we are having all the necessary information. It is important for people to realize that it is not an easy situation for FC Porto employees, because there are two current dynamics, which require people to be attentive. This orientation should be future. We have all the files open, but no one will join a board that does not resign without having full control of execution and power of veto. That is out of the question, and we have already made it clear, through the lawyers. We only accept taking over or co-opting José Pereira da Costa or another vice-president in the sense of having total freedom of power over the executive committee. The historical presence, nor will it ever be, of the president in the Cup final is not in question. I know very well what he represents for all Porto fans, and he transfers a feeling of strength to the entire team. Now, in the construction of a modern, transparent organization, dictated by a resounding victory, it is regrettable that FC Porto is not an example, unlike other clubs in Portugal, in this case, the most direct rivals, who ensure transitions on the day itself, both from the club and from SAD. All this is sensitive, it takes time. I, as president of FC Porto, will order MAG to start the deliberation of the new social bodies. We cannot be satisfied with this situation. There are many files, agents who ask us how the situation is, the employees too... The situation is sensitive. In elections like these, historically voted by the members, there should be a little more humility on the part of the people. Here, nobody is here to affect FC Porto. We are here to elevate it and distinguish it as the best Portuguese club. If these people had humility, they would already be doing it.

Impact of the delay in the transition: It is not to fear for the next season, but there is a feeling of total control that must exist on the part of the presidency of a club, and this does not happen. Most of the powers are centered in SAD, and, despite the sharing of documentation, it is important that it is supported by an executive committee where one of our directors would be present, with executive and veto power. There is no other way to enter this co-optation without these premises being contemplated. We will have to speed up processes. Everything is already too late, and it would be convenient for people to make things a little easier.

Conversation with Sérgio Conceição: Tomorrow or later I will go to Olival, I will align that with the main team, to present the new club management to the players. The players had training today, so the team captain and the coach were not present. We insisted that the captains and coaches of all sports be present. Without ever affecting the team's commitments, we will make our presentation, at Olival, and start the conversations about building the future of FC Porto.

When will you be prepared to work: We are already working, as presidents of the club. We already have our facilities, on the east side. What would make things a lot easier would be a co-optation with full, executive and veto power. Only then would we accept the co-optation of one or two of our directors. Until that happens, we will not give in. We need the cooperation of the current SAD administrators. At this stage, opening files, documenting, calling employees, sharing documentation and making the decisions that we believe are structuring for the future of the club.

What worries you the most: At the moment, there is a lot of information or exchange of contracts to be analyzed, from a legal point of view. There are sensitive things regarding our future, taken recently, that we are analyzing extensively. It is a long process. Then, there is an important responsibility over the treasury. We want to respond in due time and start contacts with full power, to find these solutions, which are very important for the future of the club. Step by step, we are taking over all the documentation, to make the best decisions from the point of view of the academy, the contract with Ithaka, Legends, the re-evaluation of the stadium, recent renewals, exclusive mandates of players... All this is sensitive information for which, gradually, we are building the best options for the club.

Fans ask for quick results: It is a good responsibility, for which we are prepared. I know the club and the fans well, I feel them in the palm of my hand. That's what marked me as coach of FC Porto, and that's what will mark me as president.

Reasons for the delay in the transition: I cannot answer that, only they can answer. The president has already replied that he will not be willing to resign. It seems obvious to me that he wants to be in the Cup final, and he always would be. For me, it would be a pride, and it would always be a motivation for the team. That wouldn't even be the case. In the case of the others, we have to ask them, because they have been in management since December 31, 2023.

Veto power: This is fundamental for any new direction, no one will co-opt without having total control over the decisions. Each one will be responsible for their actions, and we will analyze extensively everything that has been done recently. That delays, it delays. It is not an ideal situation. FC Porto, as a great institution and the best national club that it is, should always be the example. In this specific case, we are not being.
