My Take

Rui Faria is exactly the kind of figure I gravitate toward, the brilliant deputy rather than the front man. A Portuguese fitness and methodology coach from Braga, educated at the University of Porto, he spent seventeen years at José Mourinho's side, which says everything about the trust between them. Managers get carried off the pitch, but it is people like Faria whose training science quietly keeps a squad sharp across a brutal season. Seventeen years of loyalty is rare in modern football. I would love to see whether the long-time number two can build something of his own. The shadow strategist always intrigues me.
