Nuno's potential

[Glass ankles]

By far the greatest manager I've seen at Wolves in my lifetime.

How much better can we get under his direction?

How would he handle the superstars with bigger egos? Would he even sign that type of player?

How would he handle limited squad investment if for example the majority of funds went on stadium development?

I still believe a new contract for him is as important if not more important than any new signing.

 

[North West Wanderer]

Completely agree. He’s the glue that holds it together.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

I don't think he will stay in this country for much longer.

 

[Has_Talisca_Signed]

Silly question but does he have a wife??

 

[old wittonian]

I don't think he will stay in this country for much longer.

On what do you base that?

 

[Ginger Chimp]

Silly question but does he have a wife??

Yes ... and two daughters at University.

 

[Wolf316]

Silly question but does he have a wife??

Yes and a couple of daughters in Portugal.

 

[Howlin’ Wolf]

Yes, she’s at most home matches now with their son.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Yes, she’s at most home matches now with their son.

Nuno's wife comes over from Portugal for most home games ?

 

[Has_Talisca_Signed]

So he had a Wife, 2 Daughters at uni, and a son, correct?

 

[Wolf316]

So he had a Wife, 2 Daughters at uni, and a son, correct?

I think I vaguely remember a young lad being on the pitch with him at the last home game last season.

Nuno Espirito Santo Childhood Story Plus Untold Biography Facts

Nice little read and a few pictures of our sensational manager.

 

[MasWolf]

Without Nuno, there's no way we'd be as good as we are now. In interviews you can tell he knows exactly what he's talking about; a very smart bloke indeed. I think a lot of this comes from being a GK (as he had a full view of the pitch when playing in terms of organisation). Also, the fact he was mostly the second keeper at Porto and was on the bench has probably helped too as he could analyse what was happening more.

For me, Mick still edges it as my favourite manager, but that is just a personal preference - not linked to our success.

I like the 'assault' video of warnock and nuno

 

[Stratman Wolves]

I don't think he will stay in this country for much longer.

Why?

 

[MattyWWFC]

No doubting he’s a great coach, but guilty of being a tad stubborn sometimes.

He’s the reason we are where we are, the way he’s made this team gel together like they have, it’s fascinating. Another huge thing is morale. Even when we’re going through a bad bit of form everyone just seems so together still, trying to improve each other.

I just hope the club keep up with him, I’d hate to lose him because we don’t want to go in the direction Nuno wants.

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Why?

I was told his wife and family live in Portugal and that isn't a long term good idea, someone on here says they come over for most home games I doubt that but I suppose it's possible.

 

[The Professional]

Yes, he’s absolutely vital to our club, and the success we’ve had over the last three seasons. That’s why, as hard as it is when we’re not winning games or performing well, to appreciate this little moment in time and savour it. When we’re old and grey, we’ll be talking about this little golden age to our grandchildren, telling them we watched this entertaining side. It’ll be a sad day when he moves onto new pastures and challenges.

Nuno will stay at Wolves and be our Fergy.
When we are old and grey or grandchildren will be watching us in the CL and winning lots of Silverware in a 70,000 plus Molinuex.
They say hope is the killer.

 

[DDPPwolf313]

I think almost as important as Nuno is the coaching team he heads up. They're very much at the forefront of everything we do. It's a team effort

 

[Deleted member 4436]

Serious question: is it possible for a ‘Head Coach’ to become a Director at this level?

I talk (and moan a lot ) about incomings, but securing Nuno for the next few years has to become one of the priorities. I wonder whether one way of making the relationship more sticky is to get him bought into the venture.

 

[Darvo]

We got the right bloke at the right time. No limit to what he (and his team) can achieve. We’re damn lucky to have him.

 

[Glass ankles]

The moral around the team looks great. Look like they're having fun in training and play for each other. This has a lot to do with Nuno and his team.

It's also why I think the personality and humbleness of new signings is paramount for him. He won't want any big ego'd superstar coming in that will risk disrupting that bond.

 

[WalsallWolf]

.I still believe a new contract for him is as important if not more important than any new signing.

I wholeheartedly agree with this and I can hand on heart say I would have said the same at half time yesterday.

Having said that, new signings/committing Nuno to a new deal, do go hand in hand. We need to keep up with his ambitions as much as anyone else.

 

[Contrarian]

This thread will look funny if we get easily beaten in the next 2 matches. Or based on yesterday, if we have 20 below-par minutes at any point.

 

[jrpb-3]

Nuno is a great manager and hopefully can take as to where we want to be, If we are to be consistently top 4 and challenging for title then he also needs to look at some of the weak points in our current systems and improve/learn how to overcome them, either with upgrades on players of changes in tactics

 

[mcwolf]

meanwhile the under 23,s are doing okay.

Thanks for sharing. Below that article is a strangely similar piece on Adama Traore, who bizarrely shares a birthday with Nuno?!?

Nuno is in a completely different league from huff and puff McCarthy.

John Burridge was also a goalkeeper !

 

[Has_Talisca_Signed]

Exactly my thoughts!

 

[Polish Wolf]

Completely agree. He’s the glue that holds it together.

Absolutely. Our most important asset. He is the reason that we are where we are.

Many teams have spent heavily over the years and put a team together that looked good on paper. Still, if you exclude the ridiculous spending of Chelsea and Man City, I can't think of a better example of making most of the club resources than us. And I'm sure it's because we have Nuno. The work ethic, the backroom staff, the never say die mentality - it's all down to him.

Long may it continue. By far the best manager in most of our lifetimes. We can now hope that in a few years time we have a serious debate about who is the greatest ever - him or Stan Cullis. That will mean winning something big.

I honestly believe it is possible with Nuno in charge. He is that good - he can win major trophies.

 

[Keith maniac]

Apparently he has no "plan B"

 

[Coshamwolves]

He`s deffo the boss. They all board the coach and then he lights up another one!

What's going on with his contract?
