“Maybe in other countries it’s different, but here it’s this way, the coach or the head coach or the manager have some influence in all the football club for the fans, for the players for the staff for everyone, and for the media also, and of course altogether we need to create this.
“We are there to guide, to guide all the people that are involved in this football club, to try to create the best performing, to try and work and perform in the best way.
“For me, I am more than happy if they are close to us. They are the owners but it is the coach, the head coach or the manager who decides [certain] things, how it’s going to work in the dressing room, in the pitch and in the training ground. Also with the sporting director, altogether, to create the line.”

“I want to feel the adrenaline again, to be there and fighting for big things. This football club, because of its history, is about winning big trophies. I want to prove myself, that I can deal with that.”
