André Villas-Boas hails Farioli: “His leadership has been inspiring” | OneFootball

In the August edition of the Dragões magazine, André Villas-Boas, president of FC Porto, highlighted the impact of Francesco Farioli's arrival on the club's bench.

Recalling that it was the "context of demand and inherent pressure" of the moment the club is going through that led to the bet on the Italian coach, the leader of the blues and whites lists the merits of a "young, but with a career full of successes".

"Farioli represents FC Porto's will to give new vitality to our identity and print a modern, but effective, approach to the football we play. That's what he brings us. His profile combines innovation in methods, tactical rigor, renewed leadership, and a notable work capacity that will be able to extract the best from each of the players. From the first days, his leadership has been inspiring, calling everyone to a rigorous collective commitment, which is felt in every training session and every game," wrote the director, who already sees on the field "a more enlightened, intense, and motivated team".

"We witness in every game a total delivery from the players, solidarity among all, and a deep respect for the FC Porto symbol and the fans. That's exactly the spirit: intelligence in the process, irreverence in the attack, solidity in defense, and a collective ambition without limits, but always with the humility of those who know that only daily work and delivery build victories and lead to titles," reinforced André Villas-Boas, exposing that the guiding principles of the new sports project are based "on a virtuous balance between experience and youth", with "respect for history". "Incorporating the values that make us unique, but with an opening to innovation, to the valorization of all the talents we have and continue to form," he completed.
