Farioli insists he’ll stay at FC Porto: “We’re only at the start…” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli, FC Porto’s coach, guarantees that he will remain at the Dragão, even if an offer from a European giant comes in.

“Leave? Not now, certainly. This is where I am and where I want to be. We are at the beginning of our journey and we have taken the first step. Now is the time to keep ourselves at the top,” he said in an interview with RTP, adding: “I don’t think we should be considering that. We have just come from a very important achievement. We have finished the celebrations and everything is still in that mood. Part of us is already thinking about next season, with the planning and organization. July 1 is close.”

“We come from four difficult seasons, without titles, and the demand at this club is to win and collect trophies. The reality is that we had to start from a long way back, after a complicated season and a big gap to our rivals. The first time I met with the president, what convinced me was the desire to try to take steps in the right direction to reduce the disadvantage. That has been our mantra from the start. The way the club approached the market, the support I received to make some changes at Olival, to bring in a strong coaching staff,” he said.
