— For me, the first point is what he managed to do with Flamengo in terms of the team’s behavior, the way he showed how he sees the game, and his ability to build play with the players he had. Not in terms of sporting achievements, because I think that is a consequence-, he said, before concluding:

— We decided to start a new cycle at Monaco this year and we had a few conversations until we reached an agreement. He is very easy to work with, very easy to communicate with on a daily basis, and he has already impacted the club’s culture. He is a very ambitious coach, with a very clear vision of the game, and he also has very good professionals around him. He is obsessed with winning, and that makes him adaptable enough to change the dynamics of the game -, he concluded, to the ‘Sport Market Makers’ channel.
