“Africa is a big challenge and I come into a very big club. We want to make a very big success and I want to try to find a way to play good football and to have the opportunity to give a chance to all the other players.

“We also want to take trophies and as I said Africa is a big challenge and I come into a very big club for me it’s the best club in the world.

According to the 46-year-old, prior to his arrival at the club he watched some of their matches and believe the team needs to work harder to be better and have team work.

“I watched some games on the CD and what we must do is we must work hard, we must have team work, we must work smart and we must respect each other. They (player) know also which club they represent, a big club with big expectation”, the coach said.
