Exclusive: Portuguese manager set to land Auckland FC head coach role

Chloe Martin2026-07-22T03:11:00.000Z

Portuguese manager? Probably just another bloke who'll bail after one season when a European club comes knocking. Typical.

Sam North2026-07-22T03:30:00.000Z

mate, Corica was a disaster. Anyone's better than that dead rubber

Riley Scott2026-07-22T03:37:00.000Z

ffs, we finally win the league and now we're getting a cheap foreign coach who knows nothing about the A-League? Get stuffed

Sophie Ngata2026-07-22T03:57:00.000Z

lol cope. He's literally coming from one of the biggest leagues in the world

Sophie Ngata2026-07-22T03:48:00.000Z

Oh nice, some international experience! Hope he brings that European flair to the team, could be good for the comp

Hayden Kelly2026-07-22T04:03:00.000Z

at least someone's optimistic. I'm cautiously hopeful, new blood might be good

Riley Scott2026-07-22T04:24:00.000Z

get stuffed. 'European flair' doesn't win you titles in the A-League, pal

Sam North2026-07-22T04:18:00.000Z

watch this be some washed up dude who hasn't managed since 2019 lol. typical Auckland FC move

Sophie Ngata2026-07-22T04:29:00.000Z

hmm. Big clubs? Which ones? Bit vague for my liking, smells like a PR spin to make us feel special

Chloe Martin2026-07-22T05:25:00.000Z

your optimism is cute. we'll see how long it lasts after round 5 lol

Chloe Martin2026-07-22T04:45:00.000Z

Yeah nah, I'll believe it when I see results. We've been burned before by 'big name' signings

Sophie Ngata2026-07-22T05:03:00.000Z

I mean, maybe he'll actually teach the lads how to pass forward for once. chill

Riley Scott2026-07-22T05:07:00.000Z

Reckon he'll last six months before he's off to some Saudi club. Mark my words
