The relationship with society.
“It’s important to have a relationship with the director and with the company to have help to do my job. When we talked about the idea of the company there was clarity on what everyone had to do and I felt comfortable from the point of view from a human point of view first and then on the clarity of what the club wants to do. I see a group where there is quality and is ready to win matches and when you put them together it is very interesting for the coach.”
