After a time and a club World Cup to forget, FC Porto has already chosen the successor of Martín Anselmi, whose departure should be announced in the coming days: it will make room for the arrival of Italian Francesco Farioli.
Free since the departure of Ajax’s Dutch Command, the 36-year-old coach has been in the sights of André Villas-Boas since January, according to the newspaper, who advances details about his future contract: will sign for two seasons, with extension option by 2028.
Anselmi becomes ‘na hour H’
A should be made official with the beginning of SAD Portista’s new financial year, from July 1 – A convenient day for the blue and white structure officially advanced by Farioli.
This is because the Italian contract with Ajax provided for a termination clause of 5 million euros, which would be progressively reduced throughout June and fully expires on July 1, remembers the game. From day 1, the coach is free to sign by any club at no cost.
But first, FC Porto wants to consummate the friendly termination with the Argentine. The game advances that there is already a base of understanding and that the young coach already has a scheduled trip to Argentina.
The entry of Farioli also implies a budgetary review by SAD, as the technician was one of the highest paid in Eredivisie, when his passage at Ajax.
Let’s go to the resume of the new blue and white coach.
The curriculum
With only five years of experience as the main coach, former guard-guard Francesco Farioli, born in Barga, was, up to 5 years ago, goalkeeper.
His course began as a guardian coach in the Italian amateurs of Margine Coperta, followed by three times at Fortis Juventus and one in Lucchese.
Qatar hugged him for two times, during which he represented aspire Qatar. In 2017/18, he returned to Italy to train Benevento’s goalkeeper, Serie A, in the technical team of Roberto de Zerbi, currently training Marseille. It was from Zerbi who took him to Sassuolo the following season, where two seasons were.
Adventure in Türkiye
This was followed by an adventure in Türkiye, where he began to guide the Alanyasporas an adjunct. But it was not until 2020/21 that Farioli guided a team as the main technician: the Karagumruk. He finished the season and started the following with the Turks, but quickly the philosopher (has the degree, as well as sports science) returned to Alanya this time as the main coach.
When sat on the bank, the Alanyaspor It was 10th in the Turkish League, and with the Italian ended in 5th. The following time, 2022/23, the young coach was in charge from start to finish: ended in 15.ºat a point of depletion. But its period and a half service in Türkiye was enough to draw the attention of the French Nice.
Objective fulfilled in France
The club came from a 9th place when Farioli arrived and fulfilled the goal with the Italian in charge: It was 5th in Ligue 1 and qualified for the Europa League – Six points from the Champions League, with two points of advantage over sixth place Lyon, who qualified for the Conference League.
Bitter flavor in the Netherlands
The last season was passed on to the Dutch giant Ajaxin the hangover of one of the worst seasons ever – he had ended in 5th in Eredvisie and was removed from the Europa League in the group stage before the Italian arrived. Although it seems very well referred, the time ended in disillusionment.
Even with a record of 54 games, 35 wins, 7 draws and 12 losses, the PSV became two-time Dutch champion nine years later, after recovering from a 9-point disadvantage for Ajax de Farioli in the final stretch of the championship. THE Desaire final happened at 90+9 of the penultimate journey (2-2), playing against 10 groningen elements, coming the two losses and a draw.
Despite the hesitation in the final stretch, the Ajax time was much better than the previous: Made 22 more points and fought for the title (had been 35 PSV points at the previous time). AND won all classics For the championship, against PSV and Feyenoord.
Objective: Being Champion
Farioli arrives in Invicta with the objective set: being champion.
The Italian should perform at the Dragon Stadium accompanied by trio of usual employees: Italian Daniele Cavalletto and Spaniard Felipe Sánchez Mateo as deputy and Finnish Jarkko Tuomisto as goalkeeper coach, who have been with him since the beginning of his career in Turkey five years ago.
The first, also Italian, has been Farioli’s deputy since the passage through Karagumruk, and has experience in Portugal, in Lookin 2013/2014 (time when the formation of Olhão was last in the First League).
The other two met Farioli at Qatar and worked together at Independiente del Valle, Ecuador, a club where they intersected with… Martín Anselmi, deputy in this team from 2019 to 2020.
