Francesco Farioli, FC Porto’s coach, stated at the press conference previewing the match against Rio Ave in Vila do Conde, which opens the 6th round of the League, scheduled for 8:15 p.m. this Friday:

Integration of André Castro into FC Porto’s main coaching staff

“I already knew him as a player, when I watched some Portuguese football matches, and I received good feedback from the club about him. A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to spend a bit more time together when we brought in some players from the B team to help us prepare for different scenarios. I liked his energy on the pitch, and his ability to put himself at the service of FC Porto. Together with my coaching staff, we decided to bring him closer to us, keeping his role as a link between the A and B teams, but closer to us, to help us manage the extra players we sometimes have in training. He will be another voice and a great heart of the club within the coaching staff.”
