August 6th, Porto general manager Joje Costa died of cardiac arrest this Tuesday afternoon. Porto Football Club Chairman Antonio Tavarez was interviewed by Portugal's national television station RTP, saying Porto may retire the No. 2 jersey to commemorate Joe Costa.

Antonio Tavarez said: "Obviously, the No. 2 jersey has a very special weight and significance. Should Porto retire this number? I think yes, it will be a beautiful and symbolic move."

"Of course, it is not my duty to make such a suggestion. But I believe that if the club's senior management makes a decision, more than 100,000 Porto members will not object to such a decision, and everyone will support it without hesitation. It will be a beautiful and impartial way to always remember the name of Joe Costa."
