"I'm confident, but a little anxious, on this very important day in FC Porto's life. The members joined en masse and, whatever the result today, FC Porto always wins", said Pedro Teixeira, in statements to the Lusa agency.
The well-known television presenter spoke of "a demonstration of strength by the members", stressing that "the most important thing was to debate ideas".
"And a large part of FC Porto's members decided today the direction they want for the club", added Pedro Teixeira, believing in a happy ending in favor of André Villas-Boas, despite the "great anxiety".
The campaign headquarters of the candidate for List B in the FC Porto elections is practically full and, in the air, there is a moderate confidence in the triumph of André Villas-Boas, at the end of the longest, hardest and most disputed electoral campaign in the club's history.
The elections for FC Porto's social bodies for the four-year period 2024-2028 are disputed by three candidacies, led by current president Pinto da Costa (list A), André Villas-Boas (B), former coach of the football team, and Nuno Lobo (C), businessman and teacher, also including an independent list for the Superior Council led by Miguel Brás da Cunha (D).
Pinto da Costa is the 33rd maximum leader in the history of 'azul e branca' and is trying to achieve a 16th consecutive term, at a time when he has 42 consecutive years of presidency, holding the status of leader with the most titles and longevity in world football.
