Probably been done to death...but not really read every page of this new manger craziness....Is he any good (Silva)? Whats his back ground? Dont really know anything about him...ta
This was a reply to an earlier post....
Had a look on Wikipedia this morning.
Has a great record with the clubs he has managed.
* 1st Club ESTORIL Highest ever finish in Portuguese league history 4th. Also first club to beat Porto at home since 2008.
* 2nd Club SPORTING Won first piece of silverware since 2008.
* 3rd Club OLYMPIAKOS Set a 21st century European record of 17 consecutive wins in title season. Also winning 3-2 at Arsenal in the Champions league.
* 4th Club HULL Joined when they were adrift at the bottom of the table and almost achieved the impossible of safety with wins over the likes of Liverpool and a great cup run including a 2-1 victory over Man Utd.
*5th Club WATFORD Signed a 2yr contract in May 2017 and has made an impressive start so far. Pacey, well organised, tactically astute with champions league experience, something Jabba the hutt and Dyche don't have. And let's be honest if he hadn't lost his goalkeeper and center back against us we wouldn't have come back from 2-0 down. He has also proved he can set up teams to beat top six sides and bring the best out of average players.
He also has a higher combined win percentage rate at 53% than all of the others mentioned, even the likes of Tuchel and Pochettino.
Wouldn't it be nice to find the next Pochettino?
