Barnsley produced a slightly left-field managerial appointment when they confirmed the arrival Jose Morais as their new Head Coach. 

Portuguese Morais has worked closely with Jose Mourinho at various points throughout his career, including during spells at illustrious clubs such as Inter, Chelsea and Real Madrid.

Barnsley fans will be hoping that he can inspire the club to Championship survival as they currently sit in the final relegation place.

There is cause for optimism in the fact that they are only one point adrift of safety but Morais will have to make an instant impact.

That might just be possible because it appears that his appointment has galvanized a fan base that was still reeling from the shock departure of Paul Heckingbottom to local rivals Leeds United.

His pedigree is getting fans excited and his lack of experience as a manager in English football does not appear to worry Tykes fans - quite rightly.

We have taken a look at the best of the reaction...
