Diogo Dalot has talked up new Manchester United head coach Rúben Amorim’s credentials for the job, describing the Portuguese coach as a “perfect match” for the club.
Amorim was confirmed as Erik ten Hag’s replacement in the Old Trafford dugout on Friday, though he will only take the reins officially on Nov. 11 as he completes his duties for current club Sporting CP.
“He’s obviously a fantastic coach, young mentality but at the same time he knows what he wants — very demanding, that’s what I can expect, and I think that’s a perfect match for a club like this,” Dalot told Sky Sports.
“He is a person that you can see he has really high standards and he stands by them so I hope that can be a really good match, and that we can win together. That’s what I wish the most.”
“I think the Premier League really suits people from Portugal, we have this culture of constantly trying to prove ourselves and trying to fight for a place because we come from a small country, and it has been all over the years, not just managers but players also coming to England and being successful, so I really hope it’s one more case.”
