«Change» was one of the most heard words at the press conference to introduce Carlos Mozer as coach of Portimonense. The new coach from Alvinegro, who started work in the Algarve today, wants to leave the last places in the Liga Orangina and bring the team closer to the top positions in the table.
For the former Brazilian international, Portimonense's position "is not pleasant, but there are full conditions to recover it".
In order to recover from that last place, Mozer wants to implement changes in the team, which began to be worked on this morning in the first preparations as coach of Alvinegros.
"We are going to change the procedure and I believe that, due to the response and will that the players have shown today, we will be successful," he said.
However, Carlos Mozer admitted that "there are still many points to improve in the team, to correct and make the team get rid of them", since the coach's goal is to "return attractive football, which fights for victories and for the best result game by game».
“We are looking to get closer to the top places. Only at the end of the championship will we know if we made it or not. We want to reduce the difference we have, we are still at the beginning and the road is long. The aim is to reduce the distance to the first classified as quickly as possible».
Next Saturday, Portimonense receives the leader of the Liga Orangina, Atlético and the coach alvinegro already want to see some changes on the pitch despite the few days of work with the team. "This weekend I don't believe we can be a very organized team, but we are going with the thought of being one and you can be sure that the attitude will be different."
For his part, the president of Portimonense Fernando Rocha said that it was a bet on a coach “which had already been considered for some time, but which, for some reasons, had not been possible. Only now have conditions been met for that to happen».
The Portimonense manager also explained that the bet on Carlos Mozer was made «because everyone knows how he is in football, with seriousness and desire to win and is the right person to create conditions for the boat to start sailing in calmer waters'.
The duration of Carlos Mozer's contract at the head of Portimonense's destinies is not even known by the coach himself, but, according to Fernando Rocha, the goal is for the coach to stay in Portimão "for many years".
