Who is his agent ? Obi-Wan-Kenobi ? If he can pull off stuff like this he can surely negotiate world peace, end poverty, reverse climate change, get Harry and William into the reformed Oasis and cure all disease, must be the same guy who keeps getting Mrs Brown's Boys commissioned every Christmas.

Falling upwards.

First Spanish coach as well. It's like England appointing David Moyes or Gordon Strachan. He'll be on a hiding to nothing.

Belgium were absolutely dire at the World Cup. Given the talent they had in the squad, it was an awful tournament for them. But presumably the Portuguese FA didn't actually see any of the Belgium games.

Yes. Good managers don't want to be international managers anymore so only rubbish ones are available.

Surely it's less of a surprise than Southgate getting the England job after 1 failed stint at Boro and some success in a kids competition. Say least Martinez has done something in his career.
