Excuse me but who is this fella Pixieloto and what has he achieved as a manager? Seems to me he has no experience whatsoever of English football or promotion and I just don't follow the thinking. Could this be another on Mendes radar who needs a job? Sounds rather like a roll of the Walter Zenga dice and look what happened there.
I fear anyone looking for a rapid return to the Premier League may have to wait for new owners at the Club. Inscrutable those who run Fosun.

He didn't need a new job. He was being courted by Benfica and had led G.V to their highest finish. He is regarded as a great up-and-coming manager who wants to play attacking football.
Sometimes, I think clubs just do the merry-go-round of managers, and will get behind our new gaffer. Let's give him a chance. We all knew change was needed, and a big clear out, and new, fresh ideas.

Mike, Walter Zenga (man in a suitcase) was hardly a considered appointment. Lopetegui was to take over and eventually let us down. Zenga was an emergency hiring. He never even moved to the UK, just flying in and out. I remember him in the team bus with his suitcase, ready to fly home after a match.
I don't think Nathan is repeating that mistake with the new guy. Just look at what Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford achieved with foreign coaches with a lack of English football experience.

Nuno.... Had we heard of him before he came to us? Dont think so.... Along with Raul Nevez Jota...... New beginnings. Hoping for a repeat.

Someone's done a YouTube video outlining his style of play.

His record as manager is: won 15, lost 15, drawn 16, or something I remember seeing. Jacked, sacked and resigned, now us!?

Nuno had coached in the Champions League.
