Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

In the context of him following Maynard, it would be way worse than appointing Maynard in the first place. We clearly need someone with experience managing a team at this level successfully. If they appoint Alves, I'll sadly think for the first time that they don't know what they're doing. He wasn't even a coach until a couple of years ago.

I'm 99% sure they won't though. It'll be someone not even on the list yet.

Odds Checker show last club coached &, Alves shows Servette I think 2012. Don't know how true the info is but the ones we know are correct on there for previous club

According to his LinkedIn profile, he was a scout in Portugal, then the coach of a university side in England, then worked for Football Radar for seven years, then joined Notts as an analyst before being joining the coaching team a couple of years ago. No mention of Servette.

His linked in profile includes:

Football Coach
Brunel University AFC
Sep 2015 - Mar 2021 5 years 7 months

London, United Kingdom

To plan and deliver football sessions to Brunel University's football teams.
To manage teams on matchdays.
To recruit on trial days, and assess players performances. These are then used to assess if players are in the right teams on a weekly basis.

That was while working for Football Radar. Before that it says that he was a scout at VSL, Madeira Portugal 2012 - 13.

I really hope that we wouldn't appoint him - Maynard was a calculated risk I think (and imo not that far off being successful) but Alves would be a huge risk. Having said that, all assistant head coaches have to start somewhere .......

For me, if possible, Des Buckingham.
