“We come here highly motivated to achieve our objectives. We share the owners’ vision and strategy and we are sure it will be successful,” he began.
“I chose Udinese because this is a club with a great history. The Pozzo family have shown huge faith in me and that helped me buy into their plans.
“I want my team to boss games and produce attractive football without forgetting the need for results.
“I’ve watched all of Udinese’s games from last season and I see great potential, both in the individual players and the team.
“We must work together and think long term too. We have a very versatile squad. We have to take the players’ characters into consideration too.
“It’s up to me to bring everything together within my footballing philosophy. We might suggest some possible signings but the main thing is we share the same ideas so that the club can bring in players who are suited to our way of playing.
“I’m a positive person by nature. I’m at a great club with huge potential. We must work both with the present and the future in mind.
“You should learn from the past, not complain about it. I promise absolute respect for the fans.
“I can assure them I will work with the utmost professionalism, discipline and order and try to give them a reason to identify with the team.
“I try to keep up to date with what’s going on in the various Leagues. There are different ways of playing the game but the key is adapting your players’ attributes to the style of football you want.
“To me bossing a game doesn’t just mean being in possession. You can reach the opposition goal with two passes. We must adapt to the type of match we’re playing
“The most important thing of all is a team’s togetherness. Nationality doesn’t matter if you feel you’re part of a group.”
