It’s a great chance for me. I am enchanted by the stadium, the club and the spirit of Sevilla, which I witnessed when Fiorentina came here in the Europa League as well as this season in the Champions League."

The former Fiorentina coach was asked about the future of midfielder Nzonzi stating that: "N’Zonzi is a very strong player. One of my objectives is to speak to him, understand what his ideas are. As far as I am concerned, he is an important player. So far, we haven’t discussed transfer strategy with the club. We spoke about my ideas for the team that we already have. We are a family and as such make decisions together. There is immense potential in this squad."
