Aspire in the World Fellows Book - 2023

/98 9TH ASPIRE ACADEMY GLOBAL SUMMIT I love so much to discuss, to listen the others, to learn with others, I learn with so many people every day. I don’t want to say a name because I learn with everyone. I love to listen and more from the people that work with me, they know my ideas, know me and my problems. Is that any single piece of advice that you received from anyone? In the English Premier League. You’ve been here in Serie A, you’re in the French League, you’ve been in Ukraine. What are your thoughts looking in at that league, where you haven’t coached yet, at what happens there? Because as a coach, you’re going to be playing against those teams anyway, in a European competition. What is your outlook on looking at the English Premier League? I’ve always dreamed of being a coach in England, but things have changed in the last years. I would love to coach in England, I would love to continue to coach in the best leagues in Europe but my main goal is to continue to have pleasure every day in my profession, to be happy, to build something I really love because It’s so difficult to be happy in football. The pressure is so big at this level and when you are happy, it means something, and you must give value to these moments because rarely do we have this moment. Talking about pressure, and being able tomaintain that level of contentment and happiness. Howdo you go about that? Do you have your ownway? Do you seek advice fromothers? You just said football is changing, the pressures are becoming even greater. Howdo you deal with that? You learn with experience, try to be focused on your work and try to be focused on what we believe. Listen to the right people, the right people working with you, I think that’s important. If you distract yourself with things that are not important, you will feel much more pressure, you almost have to live in the bubble, and the most important thing is to be focused on your work and your job. Okay. Let’s finish upwith this season then. Lille, what’s your ambition?What’s the vision for this season? ToachievetheEuropeancompetitions is the main goal. Lille was one of the clubs who have sold more players in the last few years, and this is a goal of the club to promote players, to promote young players and to achieve the European competitions is the main goal. I know it’s impossible to fight with PSG or Marseille or Monaco but for me, these are our goals, but it is the process of how we achieve the goals.
