FC Porto Club Pays A Witch Doctor ₦110m A Year To Help Them Win The League

It actually seems to be working for them because they are the current league leaders in their country but the fans are not happy with this move.

Reports in Portugal have it that FC Porto are paying a witch doctor to help secure the Portuguese league title, four years after rivals Benfica were thought to do the same.

The reports claim that Madalena Aroso was hired by club president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa as a club employee five months ago, officially as a ‘doctor’.

It was also reported that Aroso is being paid £13,000 a month by the Portuguese giants, which equates to a whopping £156,000 a year.

The claims have sparked widespread anger among fans, as the witch doctor would be the highest-paid employee at the club by a significant distance, amid club attempts to keep up with Financial Fair Play rules.

Aroso, apparently a ‘clairvoyant’ who can read the future and predict match results, was reportedly put on the books this summer, to help Porto reclaim the Primeira Liga title from Sporting Lisbon, who won it the previous campaign.

Sergio Conceicao’s unbeaten side are currently top of the league with 14 of 34 matches played, ahead of Sporting only on goal difference, with Benfica four points back.

Back in 2017, Porto’s communications director Francisco J. Marques accused then-Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira – who has since resigned following his arrest relating to tax fraud – of using witchcraft to help them win the league.

Marques alleged Vieira paid Dr Armando Nhaga, the ‘National Police Commissioner of Guinea-Bissau’, £65,000 to secure the championship.
