Academico Viseu Overview

Few managers in world football can match the Portuguese tactician's recruitment record, but which players made the biggest impact under his guidance?

Brentford defender Nathan Collins has backed his team-mates to maintain the high standards established by Jordan Henderson following his departure to Chelsea. The 36-year-old midfielder left the Gtech Community Stadium by mutual consent after a single season, leaving a lasting legacy behind as the Bees prepare for the new Premier League campaign.

Bayern Munich defender Jonathan Tah has praised the impressive managerial qualities of both Vincent Kompany and Xabi Alonso. The Germany international highlighted how the legendary former players use their vast experience to emotionally connect with their squads and successfully implement tactical ideas.

Enzo Fernandez would tick a box for Manchester City that the Blues have been missing, Colin Hendry has told GOAL, with the World Cup winner tipped to be a “big plus” for Enzo Maresca if he can be lured away from Chelsea. The Argentina international will come with a huge price tag, said to stand at £120 million ($162m), but could prove to be money well spent.
