FC Porto: Pinto da Costa celebrates 72 years
33rd president in the history of FC Porto, elected on April 17th, 1982, Pinto da Costa has a unparalleled track of records with 49 titles in just in football.
Two Champions Leagues, one UEFA Cup, two Intercontinental Cups and one European Super Cup,to join the 17 national championships, five of them consecutives from '94 to '99, are unprecedented in Portuguese football. Still 10 Cups of Portugal and 15 Super bowls Cândido de Oliveira.
In few clubs of the world, the president's name is so associated with the success of his club as in this case.
During all these years there were few signs of internal opposition but despite that, was no lack of controversy, since "Guard Abel", from the charges of Fernando Barata, the case "N'Dinga" and more recently by "Golden Whistle" case.
The declared strategy to the Lisbon's power, reinforced by a biting irony, mobilized the local fans and made Pinto da Costa more than a FcPorto's symbol.He is also a symbol of the region.
His candidacy for a consecutive term will be a reality in April, with a strong popular support, backed by 20 thousand signatures.
