The Wolves midfielder says his manager is great at keeping positive vibes in the dressing room and ensuring all players get on well.
Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White has spoken out on what he feels makes manager Nuno Espirito Santo such an asset to the club.
The Portuguese coach hit the ground running following his switch from Porto to Wolves ahead of the 2017-18 campaign, leading the Molineux side to the Championship title in his first season in charge.
Wanderers topped the table in style, finishing on 99 points with 82 goals scored and a goal difference of +43, and rather than perhaps changing philosophy to something more pragmatic, he stuck to his guns in the Premier League.
The West Midlanders sit 11th in the top-flight table going into their 23rd game of the campaign and are also in the fourth round of the FA Cup thanks to their superb 2-1 win over Liverpool last week.
Other key results obtained by Wolves this season include wins over Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, along with draws against Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United,
Gibbs-White, who has made 16 appearances in the league according to Transfermarkt, was asked by Sky Sports News about the impact which Nuno has had upon the team, especially bearing in mind how there may have been talk of a divide between the English players and the Portuguese contingent.
“He’s a team manager, he helps us get together, even if things are going badly he will bring us back together and make sure the vibe is very positive,” said the 18-year-old ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash with Leicester City. “We all get on very well and Nuno is the main leader with that. He helps us get together and socialise with each other.
“We work hard in training and in games and our shape is key too. It’s hard to break us down and then going forward we are good on the counter-attack.”
