Francesco Farioli confirms stay at FC Porto: “No doubts” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli gave an interview to journalist Ben Jacobs, in which he made it clear that he intends to continue at FC Porto, highlighting his connection to the Dragons’ badge:

“There’s no doubt. We started a project 11 months ago, when I received the first contract offer. A contract, and more than a contract, a commitment that was renewed in January, when we decided to extend our collaboration by another year, but especially to strengthen the message and the desire to work side by side.”

The Italian coach acknowledged that it is difficult to find this kind of bond:

“In modern football, it is very difficult to find a club where you have this level of connection with the people in charge, with the people who will still be at the club even when the time comes to leave. And for me, it is a privilege that, honestly, I do not want to lose. Knowing what football is like, we are the people most exposed, with our work constantly under scrutiny, for better or for worse.”

Francesco Farioli also revealed that he will enjoy a few days of holiday:

“In the summer I will try to rest a little after seven or eight years without a holiday, but of course always with my phone and computer by my side to prepare myself to start on July 1 with the team in the right frame of mind. At the beginning of August we will play the Super Cup and a week later the league will begin again.”

The coach led FC Porto to the Primeira Liga title.
