Jorge Costa's moral authority to talk about FC Porto life is sealed in this Palmares: 21 official cups, played 383 matches, and scored 25 goals. The emotional connection is natural and non-negotiable, which is why Jorge Costa speaks openly about the ongoing electoral process that will lead to the vote scheduled to take place at the end of this sporting season.

Frankly, Jorge Costa considers that a change in the administrative leadership and in everything related to the administrative management of the Dragon is “necessary.” In an interview with NewspaperBecciu explained the supposed popular support he showed for André Villas-Boas, after praising Pinto da Costa's past and work.
“I didn't feel the need [de mostrar apoio a AVB] And I wouldn't do it for that [o ex-treinador oficializará a candidatura]. One thing is clear as water: Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa was and will remain my great reference and the reference of all Porto fans as president. He will be a boss of bosses. “It is beyond doubt,” in the context of the current AVS coach.
Then yes, the verdict: “I will not evade the question. Does FC Porto need to change? FC Porto needs different things.”
It is worth noting the words of Jorge Costa in the wonderful interview conducted with him Zero zeroin January 2023. In this conversation, the former central defender spoke about him Mystery and its impact on the locker room.
“Joao Pinto [passou-lhe a mística]. others too. Jaime Magalhaes, Fernando Gomez, Semedo, Andre, but Joao Pinto is the most famous in this side. We were priests, and we baptized all these people (laughs). I had this desire to integrate new people, help them understand what FC Porto is all about, and integrate them into the club and the city. In this sense, in my time, FC Porto was different.
Jorge Costa is still speaking to JN and confirmed that he would never agree to work with Benfica and Sporting. “I think it's a matter of, I don't know, I don't even know what adjective to use. But that is not possible at all.”
In the technical leadership of AVS, Jorge Costa leads the second league. They have one game less than Santa Clara (second) and one more point. On Sunday morning they host Leixões.
