FC Porto announced the renewal of Francesco Farioli's contract, a recognition of the work done so far which, according to the club, strengthens the cohesion around the team. On the sidelines of the 120th anniversary celebrations of Livraria Lello, André Villas-Boas praised the coach's performance, highlighting his excellent relationship with the team, the club, and the city, and expressed great satisfaction with the decision, made to “convey confidence” and with the aim of “winning titles.”

The president also took the opportunity to focus on tomorrow's match, describing it as “a special, historic game between two great teams and two great rivals fighting for the National Champion title and competing for leadership in the number of titles won,” and expressed the hope that it will be a well-contested match that enhances Portuguese football.

Francesco Farioli until 2028“I am very pleased with the renewal of FC Porto's coach, Francesco Farioli, which is a reward for the good work done so far. It is evident that we all aspire to win titles, that is what we desire, but his work so far has been remarkable, as well as his relationship with the team, the Club, the city, and that is why we wanted to convey this confidence and extend his contract over time. We hope this will be an extra strength for the continuation of unity around FC Porto in tomorrow's classic, which I hope will be a well-played and well-contested classic between two of the best teams in the country and that elevates Portuguese football to the place where it deserves to be.”
