Rui Vitoria was introduced on Monday at Spartak Moscow. Answering the question about the pressure of the leadership of the Russian emblem during the centenary, the Portuguese coach recalled a successful career.
“I am a coach and have played over 50 games in the European and Asian Champions League. I worked in clubs with a difficult environment, and, fortunately, we dealt with issues, and we were happy, we achieved success. Just memorize public history. I arrived in benfica [2015/16 ]in a terrible mess, the coach who was the champion came out and someone new came in. At first we felt some difficulties, but gradually we recovered. The first stage was difficult, things were not going very well, but we were seven points behind, and in the end we were two ahead, breaking the league record on points. It gives us baggage, things and the ability to deal with these situations. I always prefer exactingness, this is a sign of the greatness of the club. So now he talks less and works more. This is what I was doing at the time, ”he explained.
When asked about his choice in Spartak, Rui Vitoria answered very clearly.
“My goal was to win titles, and Spartak gave me that opportunity. I really liked the organization of the club, and we quickly understood what we needed to do, so now let’s get to work. It will not be easy, this is a very controversial championship with quality teams, but it cannot be denied that we will have a strong team that will fight in every game to win and approach every competition responsibly. I do not deny the responsibility that we bear in the year of the century, and we are ready for this, ”he concluded.
