True but it is getting better for England.As someone said elsewhere, being in Portugal helps Benfica massively with unearthing South American talent. It's easier for players to acclimatise to the move and there are no work permit issues. Two quite big problems that these players would likely run into moving to the UK.
Levy is eyeing another shiny new toy. He never learns.![]()
Chelsea?? I thought they already recruited all their sporting staff?stole this from ftl re rui braz (apologies if the poster is also on here)
Newspapers full of it but it's on the back of a large article yesterday in Marca about how he is the 'Miracle Sports Director' as he has made €300m in 18 months (I doubt this is what has caught Levy's eye

) and how he has completely revamped the squad after the dreadful state it was in. They had a 3 year plan but Marca reckons he has done it in half that time. There are no direct quotes, however.
Forums are saying that if he does go to Tottenham, he is likely to take a lot of the scouts and those runnig the Academy with him and possibly return to Portugal for a new manager but they doubt it will be Schmidt.

Is it not enough? Are they now going to sign all the sporting directors too?
On a serious note. That coach will be Amorim.
He is actually ex-Benfica too, despite his success as a coach at Sporting.
If this means he is finally going to invest heavily to replicate the immense scouting programme and structure Benfica have had in place for circa 20 years then I am all for this shiny new toy!Levy is eyeing another shiny new toy. He never learns.![]()

Levy's wet dream. He would be honed in on this guy if he's at all aware of this info.Newspapers full of it but it's on the back of a large article yesterday in Marca about how he is the 'Miracle Sports Director' as he has made €300m in 18 months (I doubt this is what has caught Levy's eye
