Farioli “in love” with FC Porto: “We’re here from dawn till dusk” | OneFootball

Issue number 465 of Dragões magazine, released by FC Porto this Monday, featured the usual column ‘The President’s Vision’, signed by André Villas-Boas, and an article dedicated to the profile of Francesco Farioli.

The Italian coach highlighted the importance of “unity” and “mentality” in building a winning formula in the Invicta city, admitting that he feels “passionate” and even “a bit obsessive” in his work with his coaching staff.

“The desire to give everything is non-negotiable. We spend many hours working and we cannot go home with the regret of not having given our all. I believe that mentality and unity are above everything. All coaches work hard, but that’s where we can set ourselves apart,” began the new coach of the Dragons.

“The football I propose is the one that most closely aligns with my ideas, with my way of being. A bold football built on the desire to be protagonists and to put all our cards on the table,” he added.

“We arrive in the morning and leave at night, often taking the computer home, because there is always something to improve. We are very passionate and a bit obsessive about what we do. We are always open to changes and to being challenged,” concluded Francesco Farioli.

In his statement, André Villas-Boas praised the team’s start to the season and highlighted the choice to succeed Martín Anselmi.

“FC Porto is ready to once again fight for a top spot. It takes a lot of work, resilience, and a fierce will to win in order to honor the winning DNA of the Dragon. The commitment must and will always be to play to win, to give everything for FC Porto, without concessions in a demanding context so as to continue the tradition of achievements,” he stated, before describing the young coach.

“Despite being young, he has a career full of successes and represents FC Porto’s desire to bring new vitality to its identity and to instill a modern, yet effective, approach to the football played. His profile combines innovation in methods, tactical rigor, a renewed leadership, and a remarkable work ethic that will be able to bring out the best in each player from day one,” he emphasized.

“The project for this season is clear, based on a virtuous balance between experience and youth, with respect for history, but with openness to innovation and the appreciation of all talents. The approach to the transfer market was surgical and rational, aligned with the club’s possibilities, never losing sight of sustainability and financial responsibility,” concluded the president.
