We were recently joined on the Modern Soccer Coach Podcast by Rui Faria. Rui spent seventeen years working with Jose Mourinho at Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Manchester United with phenomenal success during this time. Alongside the many trophies, Rui is credited with introducing a specific tactical methodology that merged physical training with a tactical framework and has had a dramatic impact on the world of coaching. In this interview, Rui discusses:
- What is the REAL starting point for a tactical methodology?
- How did Rui and Mourinho create different styles in variety of cultures, but keep consistent?
- Has coaching lost it's way alongside science?
- Why did he take away GPS monitoring at Manchester United?
And much, much more!!
