Carvalhal has never held a job for more than 2 years - and that pretty much sums him up!! He was great for us in the first two seasons, playoffs both season and the final in the first season. Problem is he spent a ton of money and rather than bringing youngsters through he would rather buy to fill a gap in the squad. We signed a lot of players on the back end of their careers with no sell on value or ended up being injured for long spells. We dropped into a transfer embargo just after he left!! Not all of this was his fault, I am sure he wasn’t the one negotiating the salaries etc but his squads tend to perform for about 18 months and then drop off, at which point he moves on!!
He is a breath of fresh air, the fans will like him especially if he does well initially. His tactics are ok if he has the right players around him, but he will stick to his favorites at the expense of youngsters or other squad players and he does not particualrly change the formation if it needs to be changed. He could well get you promoted, but if not I would expect him to be gone by the end of next season.
