Seems a fun, jovial kind of guy. I wonder how jovial he’s going to be in a few months though
It’s like night and day with ETH. Listening to him for 10 seconds would make my brain dribble out my ear. Thank you, Amorim. Thank you!

Everyone regresses once they spend enough time at OT. Let's hope he doesn't...Seems a fun, jovial kind of guy. I wonder how jovial he’s going to be in a few months though
ETH was seriously lacking in charisma, his English didn't seem that great either.
If he's the 'right man' then he won't. You need an unshakable self-assuredness to even stand a chance in this job. It'll take something special, let's hope he's it...

Benitez, Carlo Ancelotti and Emery spring to mind who have zero Charisma but are very good managers.
Likewise Frank Lampard is good with the media.......

I thought it was self explanatory. You cannot judge a manager by their charisma.
It certainly plays a big part. Ancelotti has an aura about him (maybe not at Everton
). Look at the perceived 'elite' managers over the past 20 years or so, I'd say the majority are what you'd call charismatic. I think at Man Utd it's even more important as you need to be able to keep the terrible English media under control.ETH wasn't judged on this anyway, but it didn't help. His coaching didn't work, tactics didn't work, recruitment was a disaster, etc etc.

I see that the media are already hounding Amorim. Nice to see the Portuguese management team push back.

Yeah, that was just embarrassing from that Gary Cotterill guy.

You can already see the articles tomorrow if City beat Sporting
He's insufferable.
Amorim mentioned that himself, and said if he wins then he'll instantly be hailed as the second coming of Sir Alex

I was so embarrassed for Amorim there. The british press are pieces of ****

Eth was that though and the fans called him delusional.
Sir Alex was that and he was called arrogant.
José was that and he was called boring and arrogant and delusional.
So are you sure the new guy is going to be any different?

ETH didn't seem assured at all. He looked confused a lot of the time, at least over the past year. He became a bit delusional more recently. His stuttering communication style absolutely did not help. Pochettino was easier to listen to back in his translator days!
I'm not sure of anything, but I am hopeful. As everyone should be, that's the nature of football.
People keep saying other managers have failed, but as I've said before -
Moyes was a ridiculous appointment and that one is on SAF's head.
LvG was well past his best and losing the plot a bit.
Jose, well, the same as above really.
ETH was the first measured appointment, but he suffered due to poor transfers initially - remember the Frenkie de Jong saga? He was only partly to blame for that, but then it just continued downhill from there as unfortunately he wasn't up to the job - for whatever reason.
Amorim seems to have some of that slightly endearing Pochettino style vulnerability, but he's also apparently very dogmatic and will expect the players to run through walls for him - could be some issues there.
LvG is a good example of someone who is assured and arrogant, but unfortunately the style of football he wanted was terrible.

He was when he started.
I recall Ole got stick also for being too positive and at odds with reality. Also got accused of having no plan at times.
It's almost as if the club is rotten and it chews people up.

In the end if the club is doing badly people will make up things that are wrong with the manager's behaviour or personality that they wouldn't say if the club was doing well.
