To put it simply, I’m a project coach. I love everything about the journey.
I’m not a smash-and-grab manager who goes in there, saves a club from a tight spot and then leaves. It’s about building a group and developing a DNA. It’s really, really important that everyone’s on a journey and everyone’s involved in a process to build something very, very special. That’s what I feel we’re going to achieve at Arsenal.
My love for soccer goes all the way back to the 1978 World Cup. I was just an eight-year-old kid watching it on a black and white television in Melbourne, Australia.
