The Manager Vacuum

Welcome to the Portugal Corner Podcast, where we cover all things Portuguese soccer—good, bad, and funny! Here's a quick summary of the latest action:

- **Sporting CP**: Amorim’s rumored move to Manchester United didn’t affect the Lions much, as they powered through with a 3-1 Taca win over Nacional and a 5-1 thrashing of Estrela Amadora. Nani made his return to Alvalade, and Gyokeres was on fire, scoring 6 goals in a week, including a 20-minute hat trick against Estrela Amadora.

- **Benfica**: The Eagles are on cruise control under manager Lage. They secured a 3-0 Taca win over Santa Clara with Di Maria scoring a stunning volley and Pavlidis netting two. On the weekend, they came from behind to beat Farense 2-1. Consistent performances are putting them back on track.

- **FC Porto**: The Dragons keep marching on with strong performances, including a 2-0 Taca win over Moreirense, where Stephen Eustaquio was named MOTM. They smashed Estoril 4-0 over the weekend, with goals from Pepe, Danny Loader, and Geleno. Young right-back Martim Fernandes impressed with 2 assists. Porto’s defense continues to look rock solid—are they the best backline in Portugal?

- **Braga**: In the Minho Derby, Braga took the Taca with a 2-1 win over Vitoria Guimaraes, then followed it up with a 2-1 win over Arouca, with El Ouzzani scoring the winner.

- **Vitoria Guimaraes**: A narrow 1-0 win over Moreirense saw Nelson Oliveira as the match-winner.

- **Famalicao**: In an exciting thriller, Famalicao edged out Aves 3-2, with a brace from Gil Dias.

- **International Roundup**: Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham Forest stunned West Ham 3-0, climbing to 3rd place after being 17th when he took over. In a surprise result, Man City lost 2-1 to Bournemouth, with Evanilson scoring the decisive goal.

- **Manchester United**: In a high-scoring midweek Taca match, United crushed Leicester 5-2 with Bruno Fernandes netting twice. They followed it up with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea, with Bruno converting a penalty. Meanwhile, Mourinho was at it again in Turkey, complaining about VAR and corruption in the league after Roma defeated Trabzonspor 3-2.
