The Portuguese coaches association’s rules are “incomprehensible and stupid” as they refuse to acknowledge manager João Pereira after Ruben Amorim joined Manchester United.
That’s according to Vítor Pinto, the deputy editor of Record, who has hit out at the group and their treatment of the new Sporting Club de Portugal coach.
Pereira was quickly named as the intended replacement for Amorim two weeks ago when Manchester United first moved to appoint Amorim as their new manager.
Amorim is now at Manchester United awaiting a work permit to take charge fully at Old Trafford, and Pereira has been appointed officially as his replacement.
However, that appointment has hit something of a stumbling block as the National Association of Football Coaches (ANTF) have filed a complaint against Pereira for not have the necessary qualifications to be the head coach of a Primeira Liga Club.
