Vítor Campelos is set to become Cardiff City’s new manager — all that’s missing is the green light from Chaves, per @Record_Portugal.
He’s done a brilliant job at Chaves these past few years on a shoestring budget — let’s see how he does in Wales.
More information in the thread.
Maybe the air of tactical genius improves with the exoticness of the name?
No, thank f**k😂
I've put Ł100 on it, I hope to god he's not pulling my chain... 🤦*♂️
This Twitter thread on Campelos is worth a read.

This is from Zach Lowy, a European football journalist:
Campelos would do a very good job at Cardiff.
He’s done a brilliant job at Chaves these past few years on a shoestring budget — let’s see how he does in Wales.
Chaves were in the race for Europe until the final weeks of the season but they neglected to apply for a UEFA license and automatically disqualified themselves. Wonder if that played a role in Campelos’ U-turn from signing a new contract to leaving Chaves.
Many had Chaves down as relegation candidates — they’ve not only finished seventh with the best return out of any of the three promoted teams, but they’ve also played some very good football. Campelos has done a great job developing players like Bruno Langa and Joăo Mendes.
Chaves’ joint-top scorers are Steven Vitória, a 36-year-old Canadian center back, and Hector Hernandez, a Spanish striker who missed two months due to injury, with 7 goals.
They’ve punched above their weight and maximized their potential without spending a dime.
Chaves sold Brazilian center back Alexsandro to Lille last summer and sold Angolan winger Joăo Batxi to Krasnodar a few days before the window, two vital cogs in their promotion.
They haven’t missed a beat and have exceeded expectations in the top-flight this season.
He’s like Mourinho, someone who modifies his tactics based on the opponent rather than a set philosophy.
Has mainly switched between a 4-2-3-1 and a 4-3-3 and required a lot of contribution from his fullbacks (Bruno Langa and Joăo Correia) to go forward
Chaves were in the race for Europe until the final two weeks, they have beaten Braga, Benfica and Sporting, and they’ve done so with their only goalscoring outlet Hector Hernandez being injured for a few months.

Another link people may find interesting. Appears to favour a direct low passing game reads like Warnockball, but there could be more between the lines.
I see less fancied by the bookies are Michael Chopra, Gary Monk and Russell Slade.
