Rui Barros, current coach of FC Porto B team, remembers well the start of his career at the club in 1987, after being loaned to Covilhã and Varzim. “We used to screw up a lot, but he was our protection. We would go to some bars and restaurants late and he would meet us a couple of times, but he never told anyone, he just said to go home, because we were there too much. No no He said nothing to the coaches, he tried to solve the problem right away. He was very close to us and we had blind trust in him, “he recalls.

Reinaldo was a special person for FC Porto and for me. He is in my heart,” says the former Algerian international, asking, through O GOGO , to offer condolences to the grieving family. “I offer my condolences to his brother, my friend Joaquim Pinheiro, with whom I worked at Juniors A of FC Porto. Condolences also to FC Porto ”, reinforced the former player.
Another “magician”, Deco, remembers a man who “had a great influence on the wardrobe.” He and the president complemented each other very well, because it gave the balance that the dressing room needed, especially in situations where there was some tension. I left FC Porto in 2004, 16 years ago, but whenever he saw me they treated me the same way, “he acknowledges.
