....surprised nobody has mentioned Jagielka as his replacement.

It really depends on Silva's methods...is he hands on or does he leave it to his assistant?

Whose the nice guy of the two etc?

Do we want a young assistant or an old head?

 

[evertonarntwe]

they have a new wealthy owner wanting to spend cash to make Europa

and they want to make an assistant manager who has never managed in his life there new manager?

sound

...I think the modern coaches rely heavily on their no2. You see it with Silva, just as you see it with Guardiola and Arteta. He’ll want somebody who he trusts and who’s judgement he respects.

 

[Tubey]

We have an assistant manager??!

 

[APN_EFC]

Former player only if they are actually a decent coach...What is the coaching staff now actually?

Silva
Assistant Manager
Coach?
Fitness Coach?
Coach - BIg Dunc
GK Coach?

Anyone know who is in this list? I assume there are more

I used to be in favour of ex-players but then I thought if all of them have been here during the horrible barren years then what are they really bringing to the club? I can really only think of Cahill, Arteta, Jags (but I'm not sure he's a coach-type), Distin If he's interested in this type of thing, Gravesen (where is he?) as really top consistent quality recent player

He looks like he might crush your skull if you argued with him

 

[Furey1878]

Can we just send them Osman? Maybe they won’t notice....

 

[Pootsy]

Surely a job for Brands to sort out?

 

[orly]

I didn't have a scooby who our assistant manager was til just this moment.

Steve Walsh hopefully

 

[Kenshin]

New assistant manager will be Marcel brands

He is doing everything else around here like.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Not really arsed if I’m honest

Get Javi Gracia in as AM just to make Watford fans’ heads fall off.

Also, well played the OP - Starting a thread with a sexy Portuguese name in the title to make us all think we’re about to sign some hipster young player from Porto or something.

 

[everton1953]

Needs to speak Portuguese, so Jose Mourinho might do, as long as he keeps his hands etc to himself.
