00:00This morning I re-watched your first press conference, the day you got the job. Looking
00:05back, were you nervous that day? What were you thinking at that point?
00:10Probably terrified. I mean, you haven't coached anybody at their highest level and in the
00:18middle of the season without any preparation, without really coaching the staff, you get
00:23asked to do this amazing and big job. I was looking around at the people that were making
00:31that decision and they were so convinced. First of all, obviously, you want to respond
00:37to that trust. Obviously, I had very strong feelings towards the club, so I just wanted
00:42to make sure that I didn't disappoint anybody, that I was capable of doing it. The only way
00:48to do it is to start day by day and start to experience that, start to get close to
00:53the players, to the staff and see, OK, this can work.
