Alves gone by mutual consent!!!!!Did he jump or was he pushed.......very very strange!!!!!

He likely wasn’t happy about being third in line and wanted the coaching role for himself. It’s understandable if he felt he should have had more responsibility. I don’t think we’ll miss him. He came in through Football Radar, and his time here didn’t really stand out.

A bit surprising. Was promoted well and clearly valued. Perhaps he got a bit above his pay grade and thought that after applying for the top job and not getting it / not being kept on as assistant, he wanted to leave.

i dont wish to speculate on why hes left, but i do want to wish him well. since his arrival he has done well as part of our coaching setup.

He was down on the website as Assistant Head Coach, & this is a big surprise. When new coaches are bought in it can be difficult for those already there. Otherwise it's better not to speculate. Will be interesting if Notts replace him.

He's gone & we move on. Good luck to him for the future.

Perhaps Rachel in accounts realised that the salaries of the support staff had reached saturation point.....it must be 1 hell of a figure......and someone had to be sacrificed...........Alves drew the short straw.....a reversed decision....First in ....First out!!!!

No room for sentimentality in football...... Owners being ruthless?

Maybe he didn’t want to return to a first team coach role now there are more staff around. He might have preferred staying as assistant head coach instead. The club may have noticed fans were worried about having too many people involved. So, they could’ve made a tough call and let someone go.

I do wonder if Sam Slocombe might step in as the new goalkeeping coach. It would be an interesting move.

My personal thoughts, we were better with the Saunders Bros... the way the season panned out post January, we lacked some magical thoughts to break down resolute defences...perhaps the build up play was too pedestrian...

This is a bit strange and unexpected. Talk of him being interested in the top job are just conjecture, he wasn't even assistant head coach until a couple of months ago.

It was probably in the offing though. That would explain why he wasn't mentioned when the new coaching team was announced. Perhaps he never had any intention of being part of the new team for whatever reason.

In his interview with Radio Nottingham Christoffer Reedtz said that Alves was very much a part of the management team, that was only a day or so ago.

Keep up..Collis is the goalkeeper coach.....Sam is the 1st team coach .....very strange for a Goalie to coach outfield players.....i wonder if that as happened anywhere else????...Another experiment that could be soon be doomed to failure!!!!

True @Fan of Big Tone, but he was put on the spot in that interview and couldn't really spill the beans. His answer was quite emphatic though.

Plenty of former goalkeepers have gone on to be a manager. The current Florist boss was a keeper and it didn't do him any harm.

@DangerousSausage,iam talking coaches not managers......Managers have coaches to do the coaching!!!
