Details of New Man Utd coaches

Carlos Fernandes – Assistant coach

Fernandes will be Amorim’s right-hand man and will take on the role during their successful tenure together at Sporting.

The 29-year-old has formed a close relationship with Amorim since the pair first met at Benfica when the United manager was still a player. Fernandes was also part of Amorim’s squad at previous clubs Braga and Casa Pia.

Amorim had previously compared Fernandes to Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho, the former boss of the Red Devils.

“My number two, Carlos Fernandes, has been my right-hand man since day one,” Amorim said. He will be a much better coach than me.

“I often say that if I become Bobby Robson, he will be my Jose Mourinho! But we have plenty of time, we signed a 15-year deal!”

Adelio Candido – First team coach (subject to visa)

Like Fernandes, Candido was also part of Amorim’s previous squad at Casa Pia, Braga and Sporting. The 28-year-old’s employment is still dependent on obtaining a visa.

When Amorim and Fernandes became coach and assistant coach respectively in 2018, Candido was already working as a youth coach at Casa Pia.

Amorim and Fernandes decided to bring in Candido when they moved to Braga in 2019 and he teamed up with them again at Sporting.

Emanuel Ferro – First team coach

Ferro worked at Benfica between 2006 and 2009, during which time Amorim was a player at the Lisbon club. The pair were reunited in the dugout at Sporting, where Emanuel spent a total of nine years before moving to Old Trafford.

Jorge Vital – First team goalkeeper coach

Before working together at Sporting in 2020, Vital and Amorim were colleagues during Braga’s time as a player and coach at the club.

Vital will lead the goalkeeping staff and work closely with assistant Mawson.

The 63-year-old is believed to have had a professional playing career, where he specialized in distribution and played for many different clubs in the 1980s and 1990s.

Paulo Barreira – Physical performance coach

Barreira, known as an injury prevention and conditioning expert, returned to England after making a move to Premier League rivals Arsenal and Liverpool.

He also added experience to his CV in Saudi Arabia and the UAE before linking up with Amorim at Sporting in 2020.

I’m speaking from Portugal Record Commenting on his role a few years ago, Barreira said: “Fission is the bridge for the coach, who takes the information we provide them to decide on the management of the players.

“This way we can help ensure that players are in a physical shape that suits the coach’s playing model.

“We frequently monitor their work in the field using GPS tracking advice; We ask players many questions every day to understand whether they are ready for training, whether they are feeling well and whether they are sleeping well.

“This information is then passed on to the technical team, where player management can be taken care of and contribute to the team being better adapted physically to what they want to do. This also helps prevent injury and reduce its frequency.”
