In a major development, FC Porto has officially appointed **Francesco Farioli** as the new head coach of the club. The agreement was confirmed just moments ago, putting an end to weeks of speculation surrounding the managerial position at the Estádio do Dragão.
The Italian tactician, known for his modern tactical approach and emphasis on dynamic, possession-based football, arrives to usher in a new era for the Portuguese giants. Farioli had previously managed OGC Nice in Ligue 1 and impressed with his innovative style and strong results.
Porto fans are hopeful that Farioli can bring fresh energy and a clear vision to the club after a period of transition and uncertainty. His appointment marks a bold move by club president André Villas-Boas, signaling a commitment to youth development, attacking football, and long-term planning.
An official presentation is expected in the coming days as Farioli prepares to take charge of pre-season training and begin shaping his squad for the upcoming 2025/26 campaign.
