Anselmi on leaving FC Porto: “It was the right time to take a break” | OneFootball

Martín Anselmi was presented this Tuesday as the new coach of Botafogo and showed his enthusiasm for the challenge in Brazilian football, highlighting the ambition of the project and the responsibility of representing a club of the size of the Carioca emblem.

“Our first conversation was very quick. We are very happy to represent this shirt, it is a great responsibility and a huge ambition,” the Argentine coach began by saying.

After leaving FC Porto, Anselmi explained that he chose to take a strategic break in his career.

“We felt it was the right time to take a break, recover our energy and look inward, because our time at various clubs was very fast. We felt it was important to rebuild ourselves to become better,” he explained.

The coach also added that Botafogo met all the criteria he had set for his next professional step.

“We knew we weren’t going to accept just any project. We wanted to embark on one that met certain requirements for our career. We are used to fighting for the highest goals and we like to represent the people behind the crests,” he emphasized.

“Botafogo came at the right time, with the right project. It allows us to start a pre-season, we know the greatness of the club, we want to continue to have prestige and fight for goals, and Botafogo gives us that,” Anselmi concluded.

It should be remembered that the Argentine coach was announced in December, but was only formally presented this Tuesday. In his last project, FC Porto, he managed 21 games and achieved ten victories.
