and Everton
in the UEFA Cup, which was a very nice experience for us at Standard Liege. I am very passionate and have a lot of emotion."
"I spent a number of weeks in England last year and I want to work in this special atmosphere. I know it is not easy to go to work in England but I come from a French coaching background and know French coaches like Arsene Wenger
who have succeeded there."
“I have a French style of coaching and a lot of experience in France, Belgium and Eastern European football in Romania and Hungary, but I have the capacity to adapt very quickly and I want this challenge to manage Coventry City."

but I like the physical presence and at the same time I like to play good, attacking football. This is my style and I am ready to do a good job at the club.”
