Francesco Farioli visits Alanyaspor president and receives thanks from Hasan Çavusoglu

Francesco Farioli, FC Porto’s head coach, used his holiday period in Turkey to meet with Alanyaspor president Hasan Çavusoglu. The official of the Turkish club, currently managed by Portuguese coach João Pereira, is recovering after recently undergoing surgery.

The Italian coach took the opportunity to express gratitude for the vote of confidence he had received in the past. Speaking to the Turkish official, he said:

“Coming here years later, remembering what we did and being with you is very important to me. We came here because of you. At that time, you believed in me and gave us that vision. We got to where we are because of you.”

In response to the coach’s gesture and the gift of a shirt signed by Thiago Silva, the president of the Turkish club also spared no praise and highlighted:

“We missed you. We were proud of your achievements in Europe. (…) After working with you, no coach who went on to big teams thanked Alanyaspor or me personally — you were the first to do so.”
