It was a historic weekend in Portuguese football. Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa’s 42-year reign as president of FC Porto came to an end after André Villas-Boas secured a landslide victory in the presidential elections.

So today, Andy Brassell talks to Author, Portuguese football expert and FC Porto fan Miguel Pereira to uncover how Villas-Boas became FC Porto president. Plus, find out more about how the Ultras reacted to the news and why Miguel himself voted for AVB.
