Manchester United have revealed the six-man backroom team which will work alongside Jose Mourinho next season.
As expected, trusted lieutenant Rui Faria, who has been with Mourinho for 15 years, has been given the role of assistant manager.
That is the role which has been occupied by Ryan Giggs for the last three seasons, but the Welshman announced his exit from the club at the weekend when it became clear he wouldn't be offered the same role under Mourinho.
Meanwhile, David de Gea will continue to develop under former Portugal goalkeeper Silvino Louro, who has been given the role of goalkeeping coach.
Ricardo Formosinho, Carlos Lalin and Emilio Alvarez have also been confirmed as new coaches with the club.
