But words alone are not enough, we have to show it every day. I am an ambitious coach.” I like to win everything. I think I’m a hardworking coach, I worry a lot about details. It’s important to know what to do and when to do it against all competitors. My style is hard work and hard work down to the last detail,” he introduced himself to BTV.
And the coach talked about what he expects for the next season: “I think we will make a competitive team and we have to fight for all the titles. Handball is growing a lot in Portugal, and we can see that the teams have achieved very good results at the European level and the level of the Portuguese League has risen as well. It’s a good moment to come here, a moment of growth.”
