Wow he is here!

Awesome!

I'm worried about the fact he doesn't speak a lick of English though.
It's always something that doesn't seem a big deal at the time but apart from Jamie Carragher I can't remember anyone succeeding in a league not being able to speak the native language.

I have no concerns. Football is a universal language.
We also have Flores and Jeronimo who speak Spanish (which I think is the same as Ecuador) so it's not like he will be entirely isolated like Zura was.

I'd dare say it would be an advantage if GVE was still coaching.......

Yeah, you are right. Spanish is the national language of Ecuador..
Awesome to see he is finally here.. Just seems odd that there havent been big announcements about it.. (Although to be fair, I haven't been online much over the weekend so could have missed it)

Nope, nothing from the club. Not even a tweet saying "Montano arriving!"... only news has been snippets from JG @The Herald.

The only actual news was included in the Juve game wrap up.

With our CEO I am not surprised.

Milking publicity ain't his forte
