“Farioli is one of the best in the world, Turkey? I told him he was mad” | OneFootball

“I think he is one of the best around today. When you are at a big club like FC Porto and win the league, and also with the quality of football he showed…,” he said.

Antonio Gagliardi recalled an episode involving Farioli. “He called me when he was part of Roberto De Zerbi’s coaching staff at Sassuolo. On the phone he told me he was going to Turkey as an assistant. I told him he was crazy. He was working with one of the best coaches in the world. De Zerbi is a master. Why? I didn’t understand the choice, but he had a clear vision. His response? I don’t remember the exact words, but he spoke to me about his vision; he was thinking about his path, and what he was doing was part of the journey. He has a vision for everything, and that is one of his best qualities—about methodology, about style of play, about his career,” he recalled.

Farioli, it should be remembered, was Sassuolo’s goalkeeping coach in 2019/20, before moving on as an assistant to Alanyaspor, where he would later become head coach, after also managing fellow Turkish side Karagumruk.

“He is in the right place right now. He is perfect for FC Porto,” he then stressed. On the possibility of Farioli moving to Serie A in the future, Antonio Gagliardi said: “He is Italian, but I agree with him, it is not the right time.”
