Ex-assistant full of praise for João Tralhão's brother: complete coach | OneFootball

Luís Tralhão has been one of Torreense’s standout figures, after the club won the Portuguese Cup last Sunday, May 24. João Tralhão’s brother — who said he was proud of his team’s achievement — was highly praised by Carlos Simões. The former assistant considered the ex-Benfica coach to be “a very complete manager”.

“He is a very complete manager. Besides being a natural leader, he is very comfortable with the training, strategy and tactical aspects,” Carlos Simões began by telling Record, praising the profile of Luís Tralhão, the architect of Torreense’s triumph in the premier competition of Portuguese football.

“He is an extremely humble manager; he wants to build his path step by step, in a sustainable way. But any manager who is competent wants to evolve and reach higher levels. Luís is no exception,” added the coach who was the former Benfica man’s assistant last season, when he was in charge of the under-23 side.

“Luís is a fantastic person. Besides having a lot of ability and many years connected to football, he is an excellent human being. The working group, which is a good group, saw that he was there to help them and that was fundamental. The relationship he builds with the players always ends up being decisive,” Carlos Simões added to Record.

“Luís is demanding and, besides being demanding, he is fair. He values the players’ dynamism and ability. When they work, everything is calm. But when it is necessary to pull the cart, when things get tough, Luís is the leader we expect him to be, guiding us in the right direction,” Carlos Simões concluded, offering glowing praise for the former under-23 coach and João Tralhão’s brother.
