Footballing roots

The Portuguese football fanatic had a playing career at amateur level but retired at 28-years-old before moving into coaching.

He had success further down the pyramid in Portugal before impressing at Santa Clara, which earned him a job as Andre Villas-Boas' assistant at Porto.

He took over as head coach a year later and won back-to-back league titles.
