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.
