Yesterday it was made official Hugo Viana will be the new sports director of City of Manchester instead of a Txiki Begiristain who announced that he was leaving. Starting next season, the Portuguese will be in charge of the signings at the Etihad Stadium, with or without Pep Guardiola on the bench. Until the end of the season, the Catalan is not expected to make a public statement about his future.
If Viana is still not using his position in Manchester, the English press is already thinking about some of the possible consequences that the arrival of the Portuguese will bring. The ‘Manchester Evening News’, for example, pointed out that his inclusion would require him to land four footballers from what is still the club where he is sports director: Sporting Clube de Portugal.
According to information from the aforementioned British portal, it will be the Ivorian defender Ousmane DiomandeGuinea Bissau winger Geovany Quendaby Danish midfielder Morten Hjulmand and the protector of the Portuguese Gonçalo Inácio.
