A former Ligue 1 coach said no to Chelsea

Appointed interim coach of Chelsea after the dismissal of Liam Rosenior, Calum McFarlane is however not expected to settle permanently on the Blues bench. Behind the scenes, several avenues are already being studied to succeed him, among which the name of Francesco Farioli, currently stationed at FC Porto, clearly appears.

Nevertheless, the former coach of OGC Nice and Ajax Amsterdam was very clear following his team’s victory on the pitch of Estrela da Amadora (1-2), this Sunday, in the championship: a departure is not on the agenda. “ I am the coach of FC Porto and I am very happy to be here. Can you assure Porto fans that even if you receive a tempting offer from Chelsea, you will stay at Porto? Yeah, absolutely “, he said at a press conference.
