Villas-Boas on Farioli’s new deal: Steps taken when you believe | OneFootball

FC Porto has officially extended its contract with Francesco Farioli until 2028, in a ceremony held at the historic Livraria Lello. The club president, André Villas-Boas, highlighted the merits of the work that justify this decision.

A moment of prestige“The renewal of a coach's contract is always a decisive step in the Club's history,” and steps like this “are taken when there is conviction in the work being done.” That is precisely why FC Porto and Francesco Farioli have extended their partnership until 2028. On the sidelines of the announcement of “a renewal that will make all Porto fans proud” at the iconic Livraria Lello, André Villas-Boas described it as “well deserved” and said he was “very pleased” with “the results achieved so far, which are the best ever for FC Porto.”

The Porto family“It is the perfect symbiosis of the union between FC Porto and its supporters, which is largely the result of the coach’s message and the conviction with which he conveys it—something that spreads to the group, but also to the fan base and is symbolized in this very space of unity in the city. With Mister Farioli, since he arrived at FC Porto, there has been a renewal of the concept of unity, which we know well what it means and how it propels us to success. When we have a strong, determined leader who understands what FC Porto is, its values, its principles, who understands what the city is and what the people desire, that’s when this unity is achieved and the results are clear to see.”

The cycle continues“There is much merit here for the coach, in his prior knowledge of these realities, in the way he communicates his message, and in how he gets the players to surpass themselves on the pitch to achieve results. All of this is evident, but above all, it is within us as a feeling and as the way we cling to this team, to this concept of unity, and see it demonstrated in every stadium where we have played so far. We want to extend this renewal in time in a historic place in the city of Porto, the magnificent Livraria Lello, which on Tuesday will celebrate 120 years. All this context of renewal, of infinity, and of a cycle that renews itself under the sign of the ouroboros is very important to us, and that is also why we decided to attribute all this symbolism to this event.”

In Invicta, just like home“It is the result of his way of being, his youthfulness, his desire to conquer the world and win titles, to win the heart of the city and the hearts of the people. This is clear in the message he conveys. For us, it made sense to bring all this unity to the city, bringing the coach’s renewal to this space and seeing it spread through time, which is what we most desire.”
