Mourinho: “Like it or not, Farioli merits it, Porto deserve title” | OneFootball

José Mourinho traveled to Milan on Tuesday for a commercial engagement and spoke openly to the Italian media. The title race with Francesco Farioli was one of the topics that sparked the greatest curiosity among journalists. The Benfica coach refused to label the FC Porto manager as the new Mourinho, but admitted that the Dragons will win the league entirely on merit.

“Is Farioli the new Mourinho? I won’t go that far. He will be champion on merit, he is a champion. People may like or dislike the way he plays or communicates, but when you win, you win. FC Porto deserve to win the championship,” said Mourinho in an interview with Sport Mediaset.

With three matchdays left to play, FC Porto can already secure the league title next Saturday when they host Alverca. The Dragons lead the table with 82 points, seven more than second-placed Benfica, while Sporting sit in third place with 72 points and one game in hand.
