CoreData implementation swift 3

Question

I'm having problems implementing coredata in my project. it seems to be able to save but not to fetch. here's the code

let context = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext
    let entity = NSEntityDescription.entity(forEntityName: "Utente", in: context)
    let item = NSManagedObject(entity: entity!, insertInto: context)
    var utente: Profilo? = nil
    let vc = CustomTabBarController() as UIViewController
    let vc1 = LoginController() as UIViewController
    // Configure Fetch Request

    do {
        let request: NSFetchRequest<NSFetchRequestResult> = Profilo.fetchRequest()
        let result = try context.fetch(request) as Profilo
        utente = result as Profilo
        print()
        if utente?.type != nil {
            if utente?.type == "students"{
                print("students")
                    present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
            }
            if utente?.type == "parents"{
                print("parents")
                present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)

            }
            if utente?.type == "teachers"{
                print("teachers")
                present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)

            }
        } else {
            print("variable type empty")
            present(vc1, animated: true, completion: nil)

        }
    } catch {
        let fetchError = error as NSError
        print(fetchError)
    }

i also get the error on the result line: cannot invoke 'fetch' with an argument list of type (NSFetchRequest)

As we agreed I'm posting my core data functions, they may not be the best way but they work in my project. My entity is called Goals.

// MARK: - Core data funcitons

func loadCoreData(){
    goalsArray.removeAll()

    //let request = NSFetchRequest<Goals>(entityName:"Goals")
    let context = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext

do{
let fetchRequest : NSFetchRequest<Goals> = Goals.fetchRequest() as! NSFetchRequest<Goals>
let sortDescriptor = NSSortDescriptor(key: "id", ascending: false)
fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = [sortDescriptor]

let result = try context.fetch(fetchRequest)
    for result in result {
        goalsArray.append(result)
        print("Fetched result goaltitle is \(result.goalTitle!)")
    }
    tableView.reloadData()

print("I've fetched the results")
}
catch {
    fatalError("Sthh")
    }
}



func countCoreDataObjects()-> Bool{
           //let request = NSFetchRequest<Goals>(entityName:"Goals")
    let context = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext

    do{
        let fetchRequest : NSFetchRequest<Goals> = Goals.fetchRequest() as! NSFetchRequest<Goals>
        let result = try context.fetch(fetchRequest)
        if result.count == 0 {
            return false
        } else {return true

        }
    }
    catch {
        fatalError("Sthh")
    }

}


func saveToCD(object: goalClassForPassing){

    let context = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer.viewContext
    let entity = NSEntityDescription.entity(forEntityName: "Goals", in: context)
    let goal = NSManagedObject(entity: entity!, insertInto: context) as! Goals



    goal.goalTitle = object.goalName
    goal.id = String(describing:Date())
    goal.imagePath = object.imagePath

    do {
        try context.save()}
    catch {
        fatalError("couldn't save to core data")
    }


    goal.id = String(describing: Date())
    goalObjectToSaveToCD?.id = String(describing: NSDate())
    print(goalObjectToSaveToCD?.goalTitle)
    print("Saved \(goal.goalTitle) - \(goal.id) - \(goal.imagePath) to Core Data")
    loadCoreData()
}
