Farioli confirms he's staying, €10.5M windfall incoming

Farioli: "We're just getting started"

Farioli has ended any doubt about his future. The manager confirmed he is staying at FC Porto. "We're only at the beginning," he told RTP in an interview where he also revealed Mourinho called him after the title was sealed (1) (5).

Farioli went further — he recommended two Porto players for the national team and singled out Thiago Silva as one to watch (8) (9).

€10.5M coming in

The club is set for a tidy windfall. Namaso's permanent move has been triggered, netting Porto €5M. Iván Jaime is just 45 minutes away from a €5.5M transfer to CF Montréal — one more appearance activates the clause (3) (6).

Thiago Silva's second chance

Thiago Silva is back at the Dragão and this time it is personal. His first spell in 2004/05 was cut short by tuberculosis. Now he returns determined to make his mark, and Farioli is already talking him up publicly (4) (9). Rodrigo Mora has also named him as a special teammate in the squad (8).

Mora: from Braga to the World Cup dream

Rodrigo Mora has called the win in Braga the checkmate moment for the title. "I celebrated like crazy," he said (10) (11). Now he is aiming higher — openly telling Roberto Martínez he could be Portugal's "lucky charm" at the World Cup (10).

Gül flies the flag

Deniz Gül celebrated the title with a Turkish flag at the championship parade. He has also been named in Turkey's preliminary squad for the 2026 World Cup (7) (12).

Trophy in the museum

The league trophy is now on display at the FC Porto museum. Your title is officially history (2).

Fan reactions

The mood on Reddit is reflective but proud. Over 600,000 fans celebrated in the streets, and supporters are already looking ahead — discussions about expanding the Dragão's capacity are gaining traction, with the club posting a league-best 91.16% occupancy this season. There is also buzz around a potential Betano partnership renewal. Join the conversation
