Ruben Amorim, the new manager of Manchester United, has wasted no time in securing his coaching team behind the scenes. His £4,000,000 backroom team from Sporting in Portugal will be joining him at Old Trafford. This move is seen as a major coup for United, as Amorim is widely considered one of the best active managers in the world.
Amorim has always been clear that he would bring his staff with him to his new job. In his words, it was "always one of the conditions." This includes his new assistant Carlos Fernandes, as well as Emanuel Ferro, Adelio Candido, Jorge Vital, and Paulo Barreira. All of them have previously worked with Amorim at Sporting, making this a reunion of sorts for the team.
Fernandes, at just 29 years old, has been Amorim's right-hand man since their time together at Benfica. Amorim even compares him to Portuguese managerial legend Jose Mourinho, saying that he will be a better coach than him. Candido, who is even younger than Fernandes at 28 years old, has also been a part of Amorim's team since their days at Casa Pia. And Ferro, who is 45 years old, brings a different perspective to the coaching team.
Amorim's goalkeeping coach, Jorge Vital, is known for his expertise in distribution. The 63-year-old has been working with Amorim since their time at Braga and followed him to Sporting. And in the sports science department, Amorim has also brought in Paulo Barreira, who previously worked with him at Sporting. Barreira is known for his work in injury prevention and conditioning, and has previously worked with Arsenal.
In an interview with Portuguese outlet Record, Barreira explains the role of a physiotherapist in the team, saying that they act as a "bridge" between the coach and the players. They provide information about the players' physical condition, which helps the coach in managing the team. This also helps in preventing injuries and keeping the players in top shape for the coach's game model.
Overall, Amorim's coaching team brings a mix of experience, youth, and expertise to Manchester United. With their help, he hopes to lead the team to success in the Premier League and beyond. Fans are excited to see what this new-look coaching team can achieve under Amorim's leadership.
