“Since I arrived, I have felt the vibration. I realised the soul of the Black Stars is huge, and as a result, the expectations of the Black Stars are huge. This is the biggest challenge of my entire career, and I’m ready for that. I can promise that I will bring my forty years of experience to help,” he said.
The former Real Madrid and Portugal national team manager emphasised unity as a key ingredient for success, calling on stakeholders to rally behind the team.
