Good times :-)

I got injured in the first season, second season we needed a new manager and they wanted me to do it. I still played most weeks.
I knew how to keep the peace between the different groups in the team

Could be.
Amorim might even be a fraud, coaching-wise. As I say, a fifty-goal striker can conceal an awful lot of tactical incompetence, unsuitability and ineptitude.
