He took a step in our direction, but above all we are taking a step together on this journey», stated the coach, highlighting the desire for continuity.</p> <p data-end="516" data-start="253">“We have the desire to continue working together at the same pace and with the same ambition,” he added.</p> <p data-end="1339" data-start="900">For Farioli, the renewal is the greatest possible demonstration of trust, not only because of the agreement itself, but also because of the moment in which it happened.</p> <p data-end="1339" data-start="900">«Timing is also a key factor. The first time the president made moves was in November, telling me he wanted to sit down and talk to me. From that moment until now, everything has been signed, especially with the same desire, the same ambition and incredible commitment», he explained.</p> <p data-end="1623" data-start="1341">The Italian coach also highlighted the extent of the responsibility he assumes when leading a club like FC Porto.</p> <p data-end="1623" data-start="1341">«It is a great responsibility to represent a Club of this size and there are many people who are becoming part of my family. This is definitely something special», he said.</p> <p data-end="2075" data-start="1625">The connection created with the squad was another of the strengths highlighted by Farioli, who spoke of a true “step of faith” on both sides.</p> <p data-end="2075" data-start="1625">«There is a strong bond that was created a few months ago. At the end of this time we got to know each other better and this grows daily through the work and commitment of everyone involved in this project", he said, remembering that the technical team is just "a small part of a large organization", said the Italian coach.</p> <p data-end="2310" data-start="2077">Although, on paper, the new contract represents just one more year, the coach guarantees that the meaning goes far beyond that and represents «desire, common vision, shared feelings and ambition».</p> <p data-end="2721" data-start="2312">Finally, Farioli spoke about the family's integration into the Porto universe, an aspect that he considers essential for the stability and success of the project.</p> <p data-end="2721" data-start="2312">«Me, my wife and my children felt at home from the first day. They are growing up here, immersing themselves in the city's culture. I've said several times how much of a Porto fan my children are", he said, reinforcing the concept of "<em data-end="2720" data-start="2698">The Portista Family</em><em data-end="2720" data-start="2698">»</em><em data-end="2720" data-start="2698">.</em></p> <p data-end="2948" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="" data-start="2723">«It was perhaps born as a feeling, but the reality is that it is deep inside. I really believe in this and I hope that, with the steps we have taken together, something good can happen to the Porto family on our journey", he concluded.</p> </div>
