Another thing Nuno aside from the signings of the Spanish and Portuguese wonderkids is the faith he has shown in some Brits too, the improvement shown by them is as much to Nuno's credit as the others.
Conor Coady was a mediocre midfielder thought to be one of the first casualties of the new era but Nuno spotted a centre half/sweeper in there and played him there from the start and made him captain too due to his infectious and vocal personality. He has been a revelation and the only player who has played every single minute of every single game this season and on the verge of the England squad.
Ryan Bennett, a no nonsense free transfer from Norwich City a couple of summers back who worked his way into the team in the Championship at the expense of the seemingly more glamorous Roderick Miranda and made the position his own, Nuno kept faith in him in the Premier League and he has not looked out of place.
Mat Doherty, a Mick McCarthy signing from the league of Ireland a few years back and never the most popular player at the club but has become a vital part of how we play with his position at RWB and he finished the season with 8 goals to his name and numerous assists.
Contrary to the foreign stereotype has also been keen to give youth a chance, in particular England Under 20 midfielder Morgan Gibbs White who has played regularly this season.
