Yeah, listen, it's fantastic to be here.

It's a great feeling for me to be in this position.

I think I played different roles for this club and learned to fall in love with the club for so long.

It's a massive part of my life and has been for so long.

So I'm fully aware of the position I'm in in so many different ways.

As well as that, I'm eager to succeed.

We've got a big job to do.

It's an important job and it always is here to succeed.

win games and to play well and to do it in a certain way.

So there's one side of it is nice to be here, but the other side of it is focus, concentration and a real drive to improve the team and improve results.

I'm a manager or a coach.

I'm both.

Coaching is educating.

Coaching is wanting to improve players on a technical and tactical level.

Management is making sure that you have a strong culture, that your players have rules and regulations and you manage them in the right way.

In English, manage, if you split the two words, it's man, age.

You're aging men.

Oh, shit.

It's an unbelievable football club, my favourite one in the world, and it has quite extremes at times.

You know, the highs are high and the disappointments can be low, and that's why it's worth the success and the effort to try and get there, because when you get there, it means something.
