Is this just a Jorge Mendes marketing tactic? What has he done in Europe?

>>140311275The best managers in the world are now the ones with intuitive variations of positional play with flexible out-of-possession and in-possession phases. They don't have to necessarily be "proven" in Europe, you can just poach a lower table manager in charge of an interesting club project and they'll do fine managing a big club. De Zerbi at Brighton (a bit overrated by now), Thiago Motta at Bologna, Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen (won the league in his first full season), Arteta at Arsenal (how easy it is to forget that he was shitted on as a traffic cone trainer in City's coaching staff in his early Arsenal days), Simone Inzaghi at Inter (far better in-possession structural philosophy than Conte's Inter, which is why they are doing so well in Europe).Amorim in particular has done a stupendous job at Sporting. He's had to rebuild that team multiple times after multiple high-profile transfer departures and is close to winning his 2nd title in 4 seasons at Sporting. Similar to Xabi Alonso in some ways as well.

>>140311569It's genuinely my own thoughts. Been keeping my eye on Amorim since they beat Arsenal in Europa on penalties.
>>140311565stopped reading at De Zerbi, should have stopped earlier

>>140311565burguer is right but Amorim is closer to Tuchel as a manager.
