Farioli reveals Mourinho call after Porto title: “A pleasure to hear” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli previewed the clash between FC Porto and Santa Clara, corresponding to the 34th round of the Primeira Liga. With the Dragons already crowned champions, the Italian coach revealed that José Mourinho called him to congratulate him on winning the league title.

«Mourinho leaving? Those are rumors and gossip. Nothing has been decided. I’ve already spoken a lot about Mister Mourinho. The size of who you are is also related to the size of your opponent. Besides being two giant clubs, having as an opponent a coach of Mourinho’s level and a man of his stature is challenging», he began by saying.

«We won the title on Saturday. When I woke up, one of the first calls I got was from Mister Mourinho congratulating me. We can be enemies on the pitch or fight, but between people with certain values there is clear recognition. It was a pleasure to receive those words. I don’t know what he will do next season; if he stays it will be even more difficult, otherwise we will have someone else to challenge us. It was a pleasure to challenge him and overcome someone who was still unbeaten», Francesco Farioli then said.

FC Porto and Santa Clara face each other this Saturday, May 16, starting at 3:30 pm. At the end of the match, the Dragons will receive the trophy and then head to the celebrations at Aliados. Read the full preview by Francesco Farioli.
