Former Chelsea and Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has secured a landslide victory in the presidential election of Porto.
The 46-year-old, who has been without a club since his time at Marseille in February 2021, triumphantly returns to his former club after winning an overwhelming 80.3% of the vote. This victory ends the 42-year reign of the incumbent, Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa.
Sporting a Porto shirt and scarf, Villas-Boas celebrated with his supporters outside his campaign headquarters, declaring, “Porto is free again.” Expressing gratitude and ambition, he stated, “I am very happy, proud, and honored by this opportunity that you give me.”
After managerial roles at Chelsea, Tottenham, Zenit Saint Petersburg, Shanghai SIPG, and Marseille, Villas-Boas returns to his roots at Porto.
