Vitor plays a fluid attacking 4-3-3, with the emphasis on attack rather than Zombie Taka.

In the Middle East ( Al Alhi.....the Barca of Jeddah) and Greece.... real hotbeds of football where all the best players in the World want to play and be coached.

Viva Vitor.....the man who never was.


Nice Wiki info though:
In the summer of 2010, Pereira left Santa Clara to become assistant manager to André Villas-Boas at Porto.[6] On 21 June 2011, following the head coach's departure to Chelsea, he was promoted to first-team manager,[7] winning his first official match – and title – against Vitória de Guimarães, for the season's Portuguese Supercup.

Despite a less than stellar performance both in Europe – with Porto being knocked out of the UEFA Champions League in thegroup stage and in the UEFA Europa League round-of-32 – and in the Portuguese Cup, Pereira lead the club to the league title in his first season in charge.

In March 2013, following the team's elimination from Champions League contention (1–2 on aggregate against Málaga CF), Pereira came under heavy criticism, notably due to his decision of benching James Rodríguez during the first half on both games. The Colombian stated his disappointment in the coach's decision, but said that he respected him and trusted his reasons, adding that the situation was possibly created because of his questionable fitness, even though he claimed to be 100% fit.[8][9][10]

In early May, as Porto ranked second in the league, Pereira deemed the Portuguese league as a "dirty competition".[11] Only a few days later, after his team defeated S.L. Benfica at home to surpass its opponents – eventually winning the league title, conceding six draws in 30 games –[12]he considered it to be a "highly competitive and prestigious league".[13]

In late May 2013, Pereira was interviewed for the vacant job at Premier League club Everton,[14] but eventually signed a two-year deal with Al-Ahli SC (Jeddah) of the Saudi Professional League. On 7 January 2015 he moved clubs and countries again, replacing fired Míchel at the helm of Olympiacos FC.[15]

Some great stuff in there considering the guff being pointed at Martinez....early European exit and waffling rubbish in the media.......you couldn't make it up.
 
didnt he drown into quicksand somewhere in quatar last month?

Thrown out of the place because they found him in a wheelie bin swigging a bottle of mentholated spirits and screaming "up the Crusaders".

The feller's a wreck. The only place that'd take him was a basket case country like Greece.
 
I know, lets compare Vitors 3 different League Titles in 3 different countries to El Fraudos League One Play Off Final award.

LOL

"Three different leagues" Portugal, Greece, Arab Terrorist State.


Yeah, well in Vitor. Why dont you step up now and have a go at the Bootle JOC league?
 
I wanted Vitor at the time but I am glad we didn't get him in the end.

The fact that so many fans wanted him is the best reason you can find for not taking fans seriously.

These things take a life of their own, someone mentions someone who nobody knoiws much about and everyone convinces themselves he's world class.

Same thing happens with players. Remember Forren or that belg lad with the rock hard name to spell.

My giddy aunt.....are we counting Jeddah as a credible league? Jesus, we are scraping the dregs to make the man sound the real deal. Around ten teams in 11-12 seasons.....seems they loved him everywhere he went. He was that good AVB never invited him along to the EPL gigs he got, or Zenit. AVB clearly has fond memories of his right hand man.
