Ruben Amorim has officially kicked off his tenure as Manchester United's head coach this past Monday, bringing along a carefully selected backroom staff that consists of five trusted coaches from Portugal, complemented by analyst Eduardo Rosalino, who will join as soon as his visa is sorted. The excitement surrounding these appointments is palpable, as this dynamic group aims to breathe new life into the Red Devils' storied legacy.

Among the standout names are assistant head coach Carlos Fernandes and first-team coach Adelio Candido, both in their late twenties, who have been by Amorim's side since the inception of his managerial career in 2018. Their close-knit relationship extends beyond coaching; they have spent countless hours together, sharing ideas even during relaxed barbecues. Carlos Pires, former sporting director of Casa Pia, remarked, "They have prepared for this day for years. Believe me, they are ready."

Support for Amorim's vision doesn’t come solely from youth; veteran goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital brings over two decades of experience to the table. Known as the team's "grandpa," Vital has a contagious energy, and despite his age, he connects effortlessly with younger staff and players alike.

Another key figure, Emanuel Ferro, is not only regarded for his character but also for his tactical acumen. Having nurtured young talent for years, Ferro's insights are invaluable as he facilitates a smooth transition between academy and first-team players.

Adelio Candido, the tactical mastermind, prefers to oversee matches from the stands, where he can analyze the game in real-time, funneling critical information down to Amorim. His inventive approach has gained him admiration as he continuously pushes the coaching staff out of their comfort zones.

Physical performance coach Paulo Barreira, who completed his PhD on hamstring injury prevention while working at Liverpool, is yet another vital asset. His expertise ensures that players not only perform well but also remain fit and healthy throughout the demanding season.

Amorim's team thrives on fostering a holistic coaching environment, wherein everyone is encouraged to share ideas freely. Former head of scouting José Chieira encapsulated their philosophy: “They adapt to the context, not fixed to traditional ideas, communicating clear and simple messages.”

Eduardo Rosalino, the final piece of Amorim's puzzle, may keep a lower profile but is instrumental in analyzing game tactics and player performance analytics, demonstrating that behind the scenes, a different type of work fuels the team's strategy.

In this new chapter for Manchester United, the ambition is clear: to galvanize a team long seeking stability and consistent success. With such a talented coaching staff at the helm, fans are eager to see just how far the club can go. Will Rubin Amorim and his squad lead Manchester United into a glorious new era? Only time will tell!
