Italian coach Francesco Farioli has officially taken FC Porto to victory in the Primeira Liga at the age of 37, beating Jose Mourinho\u2019s Benfica.<\/p>\n

This evening\u2019s 1-0 victory over Alverca was enough to open up the nine-point gap at the top of the table, after Benfica were held to a 2-2 draw by Famalicao.<\/p>\n

With only two rounds to go, it means they are impossible to catch and FC Porto can celebrate the title four years after their most recent success.<\/p>\n

Benfica had won, followed by back-to-back Sporting successes, but this is FC Porto\u2019s 31st<\/sup> victory.<\/p>\n

Farioli is an Italian coach who started out as a goalkeeping trainer and assistant manager, working closely with Roberto De Zerbi for Benevento and Sassuolo.<\/p>\n

He branched out on his own in Turkish football with Fatih Karagumruk in 2021 and Alanyaspor, then had spells with OGC Nice and Ajax.<\/p>\n

FC Porto hired him in July 2025 and he oversaw 38 victories, eight draws and five defeats in all competition this season, also reaching the Europa League quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

This is the first trophy of Farioli\u2019s coaching career and he celebrated his 37th<\/sup> birthday last month.<\/p>\n
