Bologna ‘to target’ Farioli, but Porto exit seen as impossible

Bologna are waiting on Vincenzo Italiano’s decision over next season. His continuity is not assured, and the current eighth-placed Serie A side could turn to the market.

Corriere dello Sport reports that Francesco Farioli is their dream target, noting a good relationship with director Giovanni Sartori, but adds that leaving Porto is considered impossible, with the Portuguese title in sight and the Champions League to follow.
