This is actually a promising back room appointment. He was a big part of the coaching team when Nuno was here and he even had a stint as a first team manager at Famalicao for a year.
It’s interesting how Rob said the Rui will also help with the language issues within the squad too. I think a very big issue within the team is communication, which is unsurprising when we have so many players from different nations. English is a second language to the majority of players and that’s probably the only common tongue among them.
Can Arias and JSL clearly communicate? How about Andre and Agbadou? Certainly Rob will have some issues here too. This is why it’s not a good idea to recruit from all over the world, all at once.
Anyway, we’re building a back room staff, and soon, a squad, for the Championship next season. I think this is a smart hire.

Damn. Thought it was Don Fabio.
