Francesco Farioli behind Porto’s best ever start | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli's FC Porto remains unstoppable. Undefeated after 15 rounds, the team has recorded 14 wins and a single draw – that draw occurred in the classic match against Benfica – a record that sets a new high for the club. In the history of the championship, only Benfica in 72/73 did better, with a perfect campaign of victories.

Moreover, FC Porto has won all eight away matches played in this edition of the championship, marking only the second time they have achieved such a feat. In 1996/97, under the command of António Oliveira, the team registered an impressive 11 consecutive away victories.

The 43 points obtained represent an improvement of six points compared to the same time last season, when FC Porto was in third place, although just one point behind their Lisbon rivals. In the previous season, the Dragons only achieved their 14th victory in the championship on the 22nd round. Counting all competitions, Farioli has 25 games on the club's bench and 21 victories. Only André Villas-Boas (2010/11), António Oliveira (1996/97), and Artur Jorge (1984/85) surpassed that total, with 22 wins – making Farioli the foreign coach with the best performance ever.
