The Portuguese coach Paulo Bento, who went through the cruise in 2016, he commented on the arrival of his compatriot Pepa at Toca da Raposa. In an interview published by the Portuguese newspaper The gamethe technician analyzed both the hiring of the new commander and also the challenge that his professional colleague will face in Brazil.
“The bet is the result of what they think about the quality of the Portuguese coach, knowing how he works, what he is like, having defined the path he took until here. Obviously, it is a bet that makes sense, because there was a study of a path, a way of working and a personality. If it is for nationality, we are going down the wrong path, coaches cannot be analyzed by nationality, but by competence”, he commented.
Paulo Bento also wished Pepa well at Cruzeiro and said that the moment of the club from Minas Gerais today is very different from what he felt when he passed through Raposa almost seven years ago.
About the experience of leading a team in Brazil, Paulo Bento stated that the country is a complicated place to give continuity to a project and that the impatience of the public and the media is high.
“Now that he is more than aware, Brazil has a context of greater difficulty, it is a country where there is very little time to work and manage a process and everything that is around and by the press itself. It is the fear of the leaders believe in the opinion of the public and the press and in Brazil it has significant weight”, said the coach.
