Francesco Farioli, Porto's coach, praised Massimiliano Allegri as one of the greatest reference points in Italian football. Allegri is back on the touchline on Wednesday after serving a two-match ban, during which Napoli won 4-1 at Monza and lost 2-0 at Juventus. Farioli has never coached in Serie A, having built his career abroad, including winning the Portuguese title with Porto last season. He also spoke about Napoli's interest in him in the past, saying that their interest has expired under the statute of limitations. Farioli defended Napoli's form, stating that their attacking output is high-level, despite some results not reflecting their performances. The 37-year-old's comments come ahead of Porto's Champions League clash with Napoli on Wednesday.
