He further stated that despite the tough challenge they are ambitious and are ready to perform.
“Most players need time. As a manager of course to get my ideas in place might take longer. We’re quite ambitious, want to perform, want to compete at this level. We are really in a positive way.
“The fact we started pre-season in a good way with the way we played those games and managed to get a couple of wins which gives us confidence. We know at the same time it’ll be really challenging. But we want to compete.
“I’ve settled quite well, surrounded by really good people who helped me adjust really quickly. Everything’s been fantastic since the first day.
“It is [my hardest managerial challenge yet]. In a different way from when I was in New York or Nice, this challenge here will be tough but I believe that I’m in the right club to do what I love – coaching. Obviously with the challenges around I’m ready for it.”
