Ex-Benfica fullback Minto: Conceicao would be Prem coaching success

Former Benfica and Chelsea fullback Scott Minto says Sergio Conceicao would succeed in the Premier League.

The Porto coach is preparing to face Arsenal in the first-leg of their Champions League quarterfinal this week.

Minto told O Jogo: "Clearly he could enter England. I believe he would be a success. I don't know his level of English, but he would be someone capable of learning quickly.

"In England this is mandatory. In terms of tactics and mentality he would be perfect for the Premier League.

"I think he would do very well, but I know how much FC Porto means to him and I know he will stay there as long as he wants."
