The man on the inside says it’s all sorted so that’s good enough for me. Pretty much a clean sweep of the old, and in with the new.
 
So we're getting a manager with hardly any managerial experience and giving him two guys with no coaching experience until his preferred staff are finalised?
'The club is working with Matos on finalising a backroom staff that provides the support and expertise to give him the best chance of being successful' does not fill me with confidence at all.

He's coming in all alone, as an inexperienced manager, to work with two coaches who, as much as we love them as players, are here to bring 'vibes'.

I fear this could be an absolute shambles.

Do managers like Matos usually bring many staff with him? I know they have made the work permit system much tougher so will his lieutenants be able to get one from the Portuguese 2nd division?

No idea, he's only been a manager for 2 minutes so I guess if he's been able to get one then his coaches probably will as well?

He worked for Liverpool and RB Salzburg before that though. Maybe the others worked for a big Portuguese club and will qualify in the same way but I have no idea who they are to be honest.
