Nailed on.

Please check with me for Blammo criteria
Very strange how Sky say something is happening and then the odds fall.
*shrug*
Would have preferred Gallardo, but At Least It's Not Moyes
Still think it will be MarcelinoFrandelino.
Just been doing a bit more digging on Vitor. Very hard to find anything meaningful, and we have no idea how what he has achieved would actually translate to being a PL manager.
But here's a few things I've learned specifically about his China stint:
I'm not saying he's the right guy or the best guy - or even that I want him. But we can at least glean that he's not gone to China and flopped. Rather, he's actually done really, really well there, especially when you compare him with others.
But here's a few things I've learned specifically about his China stint:
- He's the 2nd most successful coach in CSL history in terms of points per game (min 50 games managed) - where he averages 2.23ppg. First is Lippi. Other notable managers on the list include Scolari, Villas Boas, Antic
- Before you say, "it's China - me ma could manager there" - he has a 60% win percentage. So far - albeit a smaller sample size - Rafael Benitez as a 41% record.
- His club has won 3 CSLs in total (since 2005) - but his in 2018 was the first since 2012
- He took over from AVB - who averaged 1.93 ppg - so has demonstrably improved them
- In the title season he achieved the most goals scored (77) and best goal difference (44) in the club's CSL history
I'm not saying he's the right guy or the best guy - or even that I want him. But we can at least glean that he's not gone to China and flopped. Rather, he's actually done really, really well there, especially when you compare him with others.

Silva vibes all over this fella.
Won some trophies in Portugal about 8 years ago, failed to end up at a top club and seems to be smashing it in the bastion of all football leagues in China. Says it all.

Wouldn't be surprised if Vitor gets a new mega chinese contract out of this. Nice work by his agent.
Gallardo or Marcelino for me.

Yeah that's crossed my mind
We don’t know that just yet, time will tell.

I can’t believe people take the Chinese League accomplishments seriously. It’s a fantasy joke league made up for a couple of big names players and pub league level standard Chinese players.

I just want a manager who you can see why we appointed them.
Martinez won the FA Cup
Koeman finished in the top 6 with Southampton
Alladyce keeps teams up
All 3 had reasons why they were appointed - Silva had nothing which is why he was the most baffling appointment.
This Pereira fella is exactly just that.
