Tiago Pinto left Roma after internal dynamics and later delivered strong results at Bournemouth. He became the first manager to take the club from its smaller status into international competitions. His work combined effective recruitment and asset management, including free transfers and technically valuable players. Bournemouth’s trading approach included selling Huijsen to Real Madrid for €60 million and signing him for €18 million, along with moves involving Semenyo and Kerkez. Pinto also identified the right targets, including Rayan from Vasco da Gama, who was close to joining AC Milan. Rayan joined Bournemouth in winter, scored 16 goals in 42 games in 2025, and has seven goals in 15 games since arriving in England.
"“Tiago Pinto, sacrificed on the altar of who knows what internal dynamics at Roma, has today become the first manager to have brought the small yet great Bournemouth to international competitions,” he said."
"“Tiago Pinto is not only a specialist in signings; Roma still has Dybala, and Svilar, signed on a free transfer, is an incredible asset, both technically and potentially for a significant capital gain.”"
"“At Bournemouth, he also proved to be a skilled trader, not only in the sales of Huijsen to Real Madrid for €60 million and signed for €18 million, Semenyo to Manchester City, and Kerkez himself... But also in his ability to identify the right players to sign. Take Rayan from Vasco da Gama, who was also close to joining AC Milan.”"
"“Rayan Vitor Simplicio Rocha - better known as simply Rayan - has made a good impression since his move to England. He joined in the winter from Vasco da Gama, with whom he scored 16 goals in 42 games in 2025 at just 18 years old.”"
