With an unusual trajectory, Farioli began as a video analyst and goalkeeping coach before establishing himself, still young, but always pressed for time in his desire to build his career. The 36-year-old Italian, from whom victorious achievements are expected in the kingdom of the Dragon, is already showing promising signs in leadership and his approach to the game, bringing with him experiences gained in Turkey, France, and the Netherlands, where he led the historic Ajax. In an analysis of the legacy and personality of Francesco Farioli, there are multiple reasons for admiration and surprise, according to Massimiliano Magliulo, who coached him at Margine Coperta, in Pistoia, and at Freccia Azzurra, in Pisa, in the youth ranks, when Farioli was still trying to understand his future as a player.
