Jorge Costa, former center and captain of FC Porto, in an interview Radio Renaissancepraised Sergio Conceição after winning the double and considers it normal for foreign clubs to be interested in Porto’s current helmsman, namely Paris Saint-Germain.
“What Sergio Conceição has done, no other coach has been able to do. With the same people, but without the competence and, above all, the demands of Sergio Conceição, Porto would not be what it is,” praised the coach, who currently does not own a club.
Jorge Costa illustrates the evolution of some blue and white players: “Otavio, Pepe, Diogo Costa, Vitinha could be in the same squad and in the same context, but with Sergio Conceição they are one thing, and without him they are completely different.” Jorge Costa said. Costa continued: “Among all those who played an important and decisive role in these conquests, and I know what I’m talking about, the great culprit is Sergio Conceição.”
As for the future Porto manager, with two more years on his contract and President-appointed Pinto da Costa to continue in charge of the Blue and Whites, Jorge Costa commented on the interest of several clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain: He [Sérgio Conceição] he has this natural ambition, and he cannot be condemned. He is a desirable coach. The appearance of interested persons and proposals is normal, but they will not affect you, because you are used to it. He is a Porto fan, works his soul and body at FC Porto and is in demand like few others. If the club lives up to his level of demand, Sergio will be Porto’s manager for many more years to come.”
