| From 1969–71, Pinto da Costa was in charge of all of Porto's ''Modalidades Amadoras'' (amateur sections). After five years, he returned to the club, being pressured by some friends after ]ian player Amarildo, nearly acquired by the club, fled to city rivals ] at the last-hour. | |||
| In 1980, then the club's ], Pinto da Costa left Porto in the wake of the ''Verão Quente'' (Hot summer), alongside manager ] and 15 first-team players, who had entered in "collision course" with chairman Américo de Sá.<ref>; IOnline, 6 August 2010 {{pt icon}}</ref> On 17 April 1982, he became the club's 33rd president, being in charge as the hockey section won the first title in its 27 years of history (the Portuguese Cup), and the football department added 56 trophies, including 19 ] - a national record five consecutive from 1995–99 - and two ] trophies. | |||
| Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa's career at ] started when he was just 20 years old, after accepting the club's invitation to join the ] administrative commission. In 1962 he was appointed as chief of the rink hockey department, a job he would eventually accumulate after also taking over as chief of the boxing department in 1967. In 1969 he integrated ]'s Chairman candidacy list as Head of all Amateur Departments. Their list won the elections and he held the job for the three following years. Despite being invited by future president ] to join his then candidacy list, he refused the offer as he felt the candidate should bring forward a renewed list. He left the club in 1971 after Pinto de Magalhães's mandate was over. <ref>; Noticiasaominuto {{pt icon}}</ref> | |||
| ==The return== | |||
| In 1976 ]'s most popular department, ], was facing the largest title drought in the club's history, having not won the ] or the ] (F.A. Cup) for 17 years. This period coincided with the rise of neighbors ], who under the guidance of Pinto da Costa's friend and Porto's former player and coach, ], would win later that season the ], the first major trophy in the club's history. | |||
| On the same night ]'s transfer target ]ian player Amarildo, fled to city rivals ] at the last-minute, Pinto da Costa was provoked by friends, some of whom were directors of Boavista F.C., with allegations that Boavista had surpassed Porto as the city's major sporting force. He considered this an outrage and vowed on that night to return to his beloved club. Soon after he contacted then ]'s Chairman Américo de Sá and both arranged his return through the formers reelection list, this time as ]. Before the elections, he agreed terms with ], who was still coaching ] at the time. In May of 1976 Chairman Américo de Sá was reelected and Pinto da Costa returned to the club as ], alongside Pedroto as a coach. <ref>; oliveiradobairro.net {{pt icon}}</ref> | |||
| ===Rise and first victories=== | |||
| It was under Pinto da Costa's and ]'s guidance that, in 1976-1977, Porto won the ], their first silverware in 18 years. During the following season ]'s success continued when they finally broke their 19 year old title drought and won the 1977-1978 league. The 1978-1979 season would mark a ] league title for both men. Subsequently, though, in 1980 after failing a third title in a row, internal disputes regarding other sporting departments having too much influence in ] football section led to their resignation. Following their resignation 15 first team players refused to play for the club. This specific period of time is dubbed as "Verão Quente" (Hot summer). <ref>; IOnline, 6 August 2010 {{pt icon}}</ref> | |||
| ==Pinto da Costa and Pedroto, Chairman and Manager== | |||
| On 17 April 1982, following severe internal disputes in ], Pinto da Costa was became the 33rd Chairman of the club and chose Pedroto as the ] manager. This reunited, remarkable partnership was to have a lasting effect on ]'s whole structure. Pedroto was a visionary, a highly talented football player whose charisma as coach was unique. Under Pedroto, in 1984, FC Porto reached its first European final. FC Porto bowed 2-1 to ] in ], in the ] final, in a match marred by controversial refereeing decisions. By then Pedroto was already ill, having been diagnosed with cancer. He would resign his duties and died shortly afterwards, in 1985. | |||
| ===European Champions=== | |||
| ] was appointed as Pedroto's replacement, and European recognition would finally come under his spell. In 1987, Porto faced ] for the European Cup final. At halftime, Bayern took a 1-0 lead. But the rookie Portuguese side would come back to claim a historic victory. Algerian ] scored with his heel to draw the match, and Juary later sealed the historic 2-1 win that ensured FC Porto the biggest feat of its near centenary history. | |||
| ==Years of domestic success - association football== | |||
| Domestic success continued to be a hallmark of FC Porto in subsequent years, and 1995-1999 became the highest note of Portuguese domestic competition ever. Following titles by ] (1995 and 1996) and ] (1997 and 1998), ] captured a record-setting 5th consecutive title in 1999. | |||
| Porto later achieved 2nd place in the championship but won the 2000 and 2001 Portuguese Cups (whilst reaching the European Quarterfinals in both seasons) only to replace Fernando Santos with ]. Octávio however only had a short stint at Porto. His replacement would be ]. | |||
| ===1999 Sweep=== | |||
| In the end of the 1998/99 season FCPorto swept the Portuguese professional sports by winning all the competiotions in which it had a professional team: soccer, handball, basketball and rink hockey. These sports constitute the most important team sports in Portugal, plus volleyball, which FCPorto has not had as a team for several years. It also won the swimming national championship which made a total of 5 championship titles in the same year. In Potugal was called the "double penta" making reference to the 5 consecutive championships in soccer. | |||
| ==The José Mourinho era== | |||
| Mourinho joined Porto in January 2002, the club languishing in 5th place on the table. Mourinho would ensure a ] berth for the following season, ending the league in 3rd. Summer of 2002 saw a lot of movement on the transfer market by Porto. The bets consisted mainly on Portuguese players playing in Portugal, yet to prove their true worth, as well as, for the most part, little known foreigners. It most certainly worked and such was Mourinho's impressive work in FC Porto that he managed to lead the club to two glorious seasons in 2003 and 2004, wrapping up consecutive Portuguese titles and a UEFA Cup and Champions League in succession. During this period Pinto da Costa remained somewhat on Mourinho's shadow and allowed him a very firm grip on all matters regarding football. | |||
| ==The post-Mourinho era== | |||
| Victory in the Champions League final in 2004 meant that Mourinho left Porto, looking for another challenge in a bigger league. He was replaced by ], who only lasted 4 weeks on the job. In came ], who qualified the club for the Champions League last 16 and won the ]. He was sacked in late January 2005 following a home defeat to Sporting Braga which saw the club lose the championship lead. ] took over and led the club to a final standing of 2nd in the league. He subsequently resigned his post. | |||
| In late May 2005, ], former coach of Willem II, Ajax Amsterdam and AZ Alkmaar, was designated as the new FC Porto coach. | |||
| Under his guidance, FC Porto has predominantly become an attacking team and the results have been mixed, solid performances mixed with severe defensive flaws. European results in particular were terrible and Porto suffered a humiliating exit from the UEFA Champions League in the groups stage. | |||
| However, Co Adriaanse still guided Porto to a domestic double, wrapping up the title with 2 games to spare and beating Vitória de Setúbal for the Cup final. | |||
| Adriaanse resigned in the pre-season to the 2006/7 season, due to internal disputes with the clubs board, and was subsequently replaced by ex-Benfica and Braga manager Jesualdo Ferreira, who had only just joined arch-rivals Boavista that season, and left without managing a single competitive match for Boavista. | |||

Jorge Nuno de Lima Pinto da Costa (born 28 December 1937) is a Portuguese football chairman, currently in charge of F.C. Porto. He is the sporting president with most acquired football titles in the world and one of the few convicted for corruption, being suspended for 2 years but ultimately absolved in Portuguese common courts.
Early years
Pinto da Costa was born in Porto, the son of José Alexandrino Teixeira da Costa and Maria Elisa Bessa Lima de Amorim Pinto, who fathered other four children, including future renowned forensic pathologist José Eduardo.
In his late teens, Jorge Nuno started working as a bank teller. Shortly after, he began collaborating with F.C. Porto, while keeping his day job; in 1953, upon the completion of his 16th birthday, his maternal grandmother registered him as a club associate, and he was an early frequent attender of the team's football and hockey games, eventually going on to work in directorial capacities in the latter department, in his early 20's.
Directorial beginnings
From 1969–71, Pinto da Costa was in charge of all of Porto's Modalidades Amadoras (amateur sections). After five years, he returned to the club, being pressured by some friends after Brazilian player Amarildo, nearly acquired by the club, fled to city rivals Boavista F.C. at the last-hour.
In 1980, then the club's director of football, Pinto da Costa left Porto in the wake of the Verão Quente (Hot summer), alongside manager José Maria Pedroto and 15 first-team players, who had entered in "collision course" with chairman Américo de Sá. On 17 April 1982, he became the club's 33rd president, being in charge as the hockey section won the first title in its 27 years of history (the Portuguese Cup), and the football department added 56 trophies, including 19 national championships - a national record five consecutive from 1995–99 - and two UEFA Champions League trophies.
The "Apito Dourado" affair and other controversies
Pinto da Costa was one of the people investigated by the police as part of the Apito Dourado (Golden Whistle) sports corruption scandal in Portuguese football. He was formally accused of corruption on 12 June 2007, along with Reinaldo Teles, another member of FC Porto's administration.
In December 2006, Pinto da Costa's former mistress and a former escort, Carolina Salgado, published the book Eu, Carolina (I, Carolina) where she made serious allegations against Pinto da Costa (including match fixing, bribing referees with prostitutes, and ordering the beating of Gondomar councilman Ricardo Bexiga). He denied all the accusations, claiming she tried to use the book to blackmail him.
Following the inquiry, Pinto da Costa vowed to appeal the two-year ban placed on him in order to clear both his and the club's names. In a short interview, he stated: "We will not appeal the points deductions and we will still have a 14 or 15-point lead. But FC Porto's honor will be salvaged because I, personally, as president and a citizen, will appeal on Monday to the Justice Council. After this appeal, we will wait to see the truth come out and it will allow us to show there is no reason for FC Porto to have been penalised."
In early April 2009, Pinto da Costa was cleared of any allegations relating to bribery or any case dealing with Apito Dourado.
