I arrived to an unknown place, where there were few foreign coaches and it was a different experience. But I always work to be successful and I had a good expectation when I came here. The first period of adaptation to a new country is very difficult, but I was lucky to work with good people, which was the most important of all. From now on, I want to continue working in Brazil. I’m very happy.

It is not very easy to explain. Brazil has many players. We have a good team, coupled with hard work, we make results.

I always enjoyed working. In the first year, I had good players. When they gave me the opportunity to choose players and form my coaching staff, the team continued to grow and we have reached three finals. Technically, the players in Brazil are very good.
