Francesco Farioli starts again at the Port
Francesco Farioli is starting over at Porto. The Italian coach has signed a two-year contract with the Portuguese club, until June 30, 2027. This was announced by the Lusitanian club itself through an official note published on Sunday.
Born 36 years ago in Barga, Tuscany, he began by coaching goalkeepers for three teams in his country–s minor leagues; Margine Coperta, Fortis Juventus and Lucchese – before moving to the Middle East to work at the Aspire Academy and with the Qatar youth selections.
He returned to Italy in late 2017 to join Roberto De Zerbi’s technical staff at Benevento and Sassuolo. In the summer of 2020, he moved to Turkey, where he made his debut as head coach of Karagümrük and then Alanyaspor.
At the end of 2017, he moved to Turkey.
In July 2023 he received an offer from Nice, and his good results in Ligue 1 led him to the Netherlands. After a season on the bench of Ajax, he now moves to the ‘Invicta city’ to take over the technical leadership of FC Porto.
The press conference for the presentation of Francesco Farioli, in the presence of Porto president André Villas-Boas, is scheduled for 12 noon Monday at the José Maria Pedroto Auditorium at the Stadio do Dragão (Porto Canal).
