And we now have a replacement for Andre Villas-Boas....just like that!
Pinto da Costa has appointed Vítor Pereira as FC Porto manager
Later on Tuesday FC Porto officially announced that Vitor Pereira has been appointed the new first-team coach on a two-year contract. Pereira joined Porto last summer as an assistant to Andre Villas-Boas. He was previously the coach at second-tier Santa Clara, narrowly missing out on promotion to the top flight in two successive seasons.
Pereira said: "Andre did a superb job here and I thank him, but I was also part of that success. This team will continue to win and can still grow more."
FC Porto has also officially announced that it has received the release clause of 15 million euros, stating that the money was paid by Andre Villas-Boas himself.

Time to move on, I'm hoping at least either Hulk or Falcao will stay. I've said all I needed to say regarding Andre in the last 2 Andre to Chelsea posts, I wish Andre all the best at Chelsea even though I feel betrayed with all his promises, I still thank him for everything. And hopefully Vitor will do well in our team. The Portuguese Godfather is one step ahead once again.. there are more quotes in English from Pinto da Costa and Vitor here
