Mourinho's Coaching Team

I suspect Sacremento is. Mourinho seems to be a lot more involved in hands-on training than I would have anticipated, which probably frees up Sacremento to do what he does best - he started out as a dedicated opposition / performance analyst, after all, and he's been variously described as a prodigy at tactical analysis and transferring tactical preparation to understandable daily drills.
Also got his start with Mourinho when he sent him an (as far as I can tell) unsolicited dossier on periodisation, for which Mourinho was originally the biggest evangelist on these shores. So, he's certainly got the brain for it, and the aptitude for it.
In contrast, I suspect Ledley will do a lot more of the hands-on, man management-type work that is one responsibility of assistants - keeping Mourinho aware of team morale and any potential issues in the squad.

That was my thinking too. It would make sense after half a year getting used to each other.
I'm surprised to see Mourinho coaching so much, it's not something that he's done for a while.

There's our answer @DubaiSpur
"The 39-year-old replaces Mourinho's tactical analyst Ricardo Formosinho, who is leaving to pursue a career in management, but it is not like-for-like, with assistant manager Joao Sacramento and analyst Giovanni Cerra set to assume responsibility for tactics."

Ledley has bern my favourite player of the last 30 years, a proper rolls Royce of a player and a yid.
Just does not strike me as the sharpest tool when he commentating on games, hope im wrong.

I think most of the videos that get released are of warm up or cool down stuff, not the high intensity stuff that goes on.

Not sure why he would leave for a bottom dweller in the Belgian League, but if he does, it would be a huge loss. I'm really looking forward to him replacing Mourinho some day.

Again, the stat "3rd worst at retaining possession" doesn't really mean anything.
It might be that Liverpool specifically throw the ball aggressively into attacking positions to pressure the opposition into clearing into touch so they can then throw it into the box where they are less likely to win it COMPARED TO a team that always just fannies around and throws it back to the centre back to roll back to the keeper.
You can't just throw out some stat like that as though it makes sense.
Probably the teams that retained possession most did bugger all with their throw ins and just rolled it back to the keeper, who then spaffed it wildly upfield for the big lad.
