Farioli goes eight league classics unbeaten with Ajax and FC Porto

Francesco Farioli has yet to taste defeat in league clássicos while in charge of Ajax and FC Porto. In the eight matches played between the two teams, the Italian coach has recorded five wins and three draws.

His record against the main rivals does, however, include one defeat in a competition outside the league. It came against Sporting, 1-0, in the first leg of last season’s Portuguese Cup semi-finals. Overall, Francesco Farioli has registered six wins, four draws and one defeat in 11 matches against Feyenoord, PSV, Benfica and Sporting.
