André Villas-Boas on Farioli: “Fantastic, energetic, intuitive” | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas gave an interview to the newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport and was asked to comment on Francesco Farioli. In his response, the FC Porto president did not hold back in praising the Italian coach’s work since the start of the season:

“Francesco is fantastic. He has energy, personality, great intuition, he studies continuously and has a team of professionals with specific roles who make a major contribution to the team. He has the final say, but everyone takes part in the final decision. FC Porto play high-intensity and very interesting football. He is very good at communication, both with the players and with the rest of the staff. He is a modern coach and is only 37 years old. This means his margin for improvement is enormous: we are very pleased with him, with the results he is achieving and with the harmony he has brought to every area of the club. That is why we renewed his contract well in advance. We want him to stay with us for a long time”.

André Villas-Boas made his total confidence in Francesco Farioli clear to lead FC Porto into the future

“We are a bit alike… I hope he wins more than I won at FC Porto. He is the coach who will take us into the future, and we are happy to have him with us”.

At the moment, FC Porto lead the Primeira Liga with 76 points and are in the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup, where they face Sporting.
