"It has been great since we arrived. It's hard work, it's all about pre-season and trying to commit everyone to work hard. The attitude commitment of the boys has been great, and I am delighted to be here.
"We've been talking. Me, Fabio [Paratici] and Steve [Hitchen]. We're aware there's a lot of work to be done. It's hard work to improve the quality we have. We need to find the right players.
"On a daily basis we talk. Fabio and Steve, they do their job in the market. I do mine on the training ground. To improve our squad is not easy."
