Kanye West Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Sheffield Wednesday are delighted to announce the appointment of Carlos Carvalhal as head coach at Hillsborough. The Portuguese is joined by backroom team and compatriots Joao Mario, Joao Cunha and Bruno Lage. Carvalhal brings a wealth of experience to S6, with Owls chairman Dejphon Chansiri convinced the new head coach and his team will serve as the blueprint for future success. He told swfc.co.uk: “Firstly, I would like to welcome Carlos to Sheffield Wednesday. “I firmly believe that this appointment will take our team and our club to the next level and towards where we all want to be, the Premier League. “It is important for our supporters that they watch their team play attractive, aggressive and entertaining football. “Carlos buys in completely to this philosophy and I am confident that his experience, knowledge and ability will herald the start of a successful new era for Sheffield Wednesday.†Mr Chansiri added: “Since I came to Hillsborough in February, I have slowly absorbed how to become 100% part of the Sheffield Wednesday family. “Myself and my team have worked extremely hard as we all have the same target, the same objectives. We are stronger now and learn more about football every day. “Carlos, myself and everyone connected with our club have the same ambitions. “So I say to our fans – thank you so much for supporting us in everything we have tried to do for Sheffield Wednesday in the short time we have been here and also for the exciting times we will share in the future. “Please give everything for Carlos and the team because your support is everything, as is your trust, and I am now only looking forward to the journey we will be sharing together. “Everyone has been so incredibly welcoming and friendly to myself and my family, which makes me even more determined to deliver the success our supporters deserve. “We need the spirit and full backing from them all because we are all on that same journey. I believe in our supporters 100%, I trust in them, and all I ask is to have that same trust and confidence in return. “As a club, we are getting stronger and stronger each day and the appointment of Carlos will give us a firm foundation ahead of what I am sure will be a memorable season ahead. “So let’s enjoy this journey, let’s get excited, and let’s look forward to driving our dream together.†Carlos Carvalhal will be presented to the media at a Hillsborough press conference on Thursday 9 July.

Earlsfieldowl Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Best of luck Carlos. You're going to need it.Yup - can't help but think he won't last the year.Rusty, doesn't know the league, English players, system etc etc But hey ho...they last 20 years have been toilet so at least the bar is low and there is some stability at present (well, the was at the end of lsr season at least!) Begs the question of what had really been happening for the last few week? All the Cooper nonsense - was it a smokescreen or were we genuinely struggling to find anyone else to work in the new system. It looks like he latter and ultimately been allowed to bring in his own men. Let's hope he has luck and is a quick learner - he'll need both in spades.

owlinexile Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 . So the whole 'we need to wait for Chansiri to come to the UK so he can formally announce the new manager in accordance with his culture' turned out to be 'lets sneak it out as a text message at eleven pm on a Tuesday night....

camffiti Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 The timing suggests we've given up on adding to the CC appointment Maybe the initial fan reaction to CC panicked the club It's probably best this way though ... CC can work with people he actually knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlinexile Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Is it possible that they were always going to wait another ten fecking days to announce anything but it suddenly clicked that the fans were getting edgy - especially now that NP is seemingly available?
