Porto manager’s wife and sons attacked after Champions League defeat

Porto were heavily beaten last night in the Champions League by Club Brugge, prompting a disgusting attack on the family of manager Sergio Conceicao.

The Portuguese champions lost 4-0 to the Belgians, leaving them bottom of Group B, but there is still plenty of time to turn things around.

The defeat angered some people who call themselves Porto fans and reacted by throwing stones and other objects at the car carrying Conceicao’s family outside the Estádio do Dragão.

According to Record, the projectiles broke the windows of the car and hit his wife and at least one of the children.

Porto released a statement condemning the incident on Wednesday, which read:

Porto totally repudiates the attack on coach Sergio Conceicao’s family car last night outside the Estadio do Dragao.

“Porto also regrets the lack of protection from the authorities and asks that the author or authors of this savage act be quickly identified and brought to justice,” it read.

Sérgio Conceição’s family is said to still be in shock after the disgusting attack.

It is the 6th season of this 47-year-old coach at the helm of FC Porto, where he has had an extraordinary performance and a total dedication to the club. The season of the Portuguese club has started well except for the Champions League and it is unknown why these fans have acted in such a horrible way.
