There is always something else which can be done at the club and we can never let our guard down because we have achieved something, even though we are putting 24 hours a day into Sporting. It is easier to manage the club now, we are more economically balanced and we are stronger in terms of sports. The present has been secured and the future is in our hands."

He is recognised worldwide as one of the best and he is magnificent at what he does. Our relationship is perfect. you would think that two people who are very similar would clash and opposites would attract, but we have a really good and professional relationship. We have the same was of looking at life, which is to role up our sleeves at get stuck in."
