Francesco Farioli eyes next season at FC Porto: ‘We must stay hungry’ | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli previewed the match between FC Porto and Santa Clara, corresponding to the 34th round of the Primeira Liga. With FC Porto already mathematically crowned champions, the Italian coach focused on the Azorean opposition, while also revealing his ambition for next season.

“There is a desire to achieve sporting results. I want to approach next season the way we approached this year. There are expectations in planning, in the market, in investment, in internal analysis. They have to be aligned with the objective. The club already showed in the summer and in January the level of involvement. The focus this week was on Santa Clara, but we also had extra time to look at what is important to keep moving forward and at what the club feels can be improved,” said Francesco Farioli.

“We will carry out an analysis of the players, coaching team and staff. What we did was brilliant, but to take a step forward, the demands increase. The worst thing in football is to live in the past and in what we have done. If we feel that what we did is enough, we will be taking the wrong step. We will start working on July 1, some of us a little earlier, and we have to be empty-stomached, with the same hunger,” added Francesco Farioli.

FC Porto-Santa Clara will be played this Saturday, May 16, starting at 3:30 pm. At the end of the match, the Dragons will receive the trophy and then head to the celebrations at Aliados. Read Francesco Farioli’s full preview.
