FC Porto announced on Wednesday the death of José Carlos Esteves, former doctor of the club and the National Team.

José Carlos Esteves spent almost three decades at FC Porto, and the club, in a statement, recalls that he was even awarded a Golden Dragon for Career Achievement in 2020.

He will forever be linked to the history and achievements of FC Porto. Our deepest condolences to his family and friends,” the club wrote on social media.
