Porto Appoints Farioli as New Football Team Manager
Portuguese club Porto announced on Sunday the appointment of Italian Francesco Farioli as the new manager of the first football team on a two-year contract.
Farioli replaces Martin Anselmi, who left Porto earlier in July following the team's elimination from the group stage of the FIFA Club World Cup.
The Italian coach, formerly in charge of Ajax Amsterdam and Nice, departed the Dutch club last May after missing the chance to secure a 37th league title due to the team's late-season collapse, allowing PSV Eindhoven to clinch the championship in the final round.
Farioli led Nice to a fifth-place finish in the 2023-2024 French league and previously managed Turkish clubs Fatih Karagümrük and Alanyaspor.
Porto finished third in the Portuguese league last season, nine points behind champions Sporting Lisbon.

Sinner avenges Alcaraz to win Wimbledon title for first time
London – Saba: Italian Jannik Sinner won his first Wimbledon title after defeating Spain's Carlos Alcaraz, the defending champion for the past two years, in the final held on Sunday evening in London. Sinner won the match in three sets to one, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, in three hours and four minutes, claiming his fourth Grand Slam title and avenging his loss to Alcaraz in the Roland Garros final last month. The start of the match was tense and cautious from both sides, as each player held serve until Sinner broke Alcaraz's serve in the fifth game, taking advantage of the Spaniard's errors. However, Alcaraz quickly responded in the eighth game, breaking serve and winning the first set 6-4 after an exciting exchange of balls. In the second set, Alcaraz's performance faltered, with unforced errors paving the way for Sinner to break back early and take a 2-0 lead. Despite the Spaniard's attempts to come back, the Italian maintained his advantage and won the set by the same score, 6-4. The third set was evenly matched until the ninth game, when Sinner broke Alcaraz's serve after intense pressure at the net, before also clinching the set, 6-4. Sinner continued his dominance in the fourth set, opening the game with an early break after a backhand smash down the line. Alcaraz attempted to respond in the eighth game but missed two break points due to unforced errors. Sinner then closed out the match on serve, declaring his historic Wimbledon title.

I've always wanted this, and I'm happy to return now in good physical condition. I've matured a lot and feel ready to contribute to the team." The player was under contract with Roma until 2026, but an agreement between the two clubs facilitated his return to the Argentine league. In an official statement, Roma wished Paredes success in his new journey, noting that the midfielder played 135 matches and scored 13 goals for the club over four seasons.
