Are you feeling a connection with Manchester United fans?
“Yes, for sure I feel that, maybe because I am a little bit [of] an emotional person. I can transmit that, even in interviews I think. Maybe because I am different from the last coach and this can bring a different connection with the next guy.
“I believe that I am the right guy. People always believe the next guy is the right guy. We always have this feeling.
“To maintain this feeling we have to play better, win games and be really honest with the supporters. If you are honest and direct with the supporters – maybe you don’t always say the popular thing – you create a better connection.”
Have you always been emotional?
“Yes, because it is my character. You cannot change. You cannot be one day not emotional and the next day be emotional.
“I think also with my head, not always with my heart. But when I do things, I do it with emotion.
“As a coach you can be so good with tactical and technical stuff, but if you are not emotional, you cannot have a connection with players, you cannot do nothing with a football team.”
