Further employment in Cyprus and Qatar followed. He was also once recommended by Pep Guardiola to Saudi Arabian sides Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr.
Leigh Bromby: We Must Start Believing in Ourselves and Our People Once Again
Leigh Bromby, head of football operations, said: “After two difficult seasons, we have put a lot of thought and work into what we want to be and how we operate moving forward.
“Obviously, we need to return to winning games, and to be successful we must have all areas of the club aligned in the way we work.
“We want to return to the ‘No Limits’ mentality that served this club so well back in 2017.
“We must start believing in ourselves and our people once again; players and staff alike.
“Carlos was our ideal candidate for our new head coach from the outset, as his idea of football is completely aligned with ours.
“He is very strong on the need for a team to have a strength of identity on the pitch; a way of playing that leaves players in no doubt on their roles when they step foot onto the grass.
“He believes in a high energy, high intensity, attacking style of play.
“He is a coach whose focus is on working to improve players. Like us, he has a real belief in young players too, and desire to work with them to help them thrive.
“He’s incredibly passionate about this opportunity, and he has real belief in himself. He’s determined to bring success back to Huddersfield Town.”
