A young, dynamic and educated manager who has cutting edge skills and is very passionate about identifying and developing talent. We are entering a new phase as a football club and we want coaches who are thinking in refreshing ways and innovative in their approach to the game.

"We know there are a few good young managers out there who need a chance and we always give people a chance. We have seen how managers like Mourinho, Guardiola and Diego Simeone emerged in recent years and pushing the envelope in terms of what is possible. That's what we are looking to do here.
