The new coach of Ludogorets Rui Mota gave a special interview to Sportal.bg shortly after his official presentation.
The Portuguese specialist revealed what convinced him to take the helm of the Bulgarian champion, and also set the goals for the upcoming season.
„I am very happy to be here. Ludogorets is the champion of Bulgaria, so it is a very strong team. I believe that together we will be successful. Yes, it was not easy, it was not easy at all. Ludogorets is on another level, Bulgarian football is on another level too. We had other offers in the summer, but, to be honest, Ludogorets is the only team that made me think. He (Igor Jovicevich) has done a great job here and we know what he has achieved in Bulgarian football. I also want to win everything on the domestic stage, as well as go as far as possible in Europe", he said.
Mota also revealed what will be the biggest challenge for him, giving an assessment of Ludogorets' competition in Bulgaria.
„Yes, for me the Champions League is the strongest competition in the world and the best teams want to be there. What I can promise is that every match we enter, we will respect every opponent, but we will also aim to win the match and we will do everything possible to do so. This will be our main goal, but you know there will be many big teams around us and it will not be easy. I know that usually Ludogorets is the champion, but here are CSKA and Levski, they are good teams, there are also teams that over the years have surprised and become stronger. We know this and we expect it, but for me there is no match that we cannot win. That's my thinking“, revealed the new coach of Ludogorets.
