Challenge of directing America
“Starting with a reality is a giant America, not only from Colombia but of America. Try to be a leading, intense, aggressive team, of being a team from work, humility and results, fell in love with fans, people and can demonstrate that with that style of the game, people are going to fall in love.”

The squad that receives

Doubts about your experience
“It is legitimate that they have doubts, it is fair. Those doubts I hope I can take them out when the ball begins to run, there is very little time for the first game, they are not excuses, you have to do it, step by step, this is a successful team, it comes from a very well done job, it leaves me in my hands an important payroll, which has to fight for important things.
All these months I have tried to get as much information as possible, it is important to enter the idiosyncrasy of what the country is, football is one, football is always played in the same way, but the important thing is to know what people live and how they live it, how they feel more or less comfortable. Coming from another country, I do not come to impose an idea, you have to try to make the team do what the coach wants, respecting the idiosyncrasy of the country. ”
His body of collaborators is made up of technical attendees Juan Carlos Andrés and Andrés Rub and Alejandro Blasco of Physical Coach.
