Madeiran technician refused to set new goals for now, revealed the rejection of several proposals from SAD famalicense before arriving in March and expressed happiness for the current challenge.
The contract with Famalicão was renewed until 2023, the coach Ivo Vieira, one of the artisans of the team’s permanence in the Liga NOS, is already preparing for the next season, but will only choose to set the goal for 2021/22 when the squad is constituted.
“I need to know what I have in hand to set goals. I believe in the project and in the ability of people to be able to give me players capable of reaching other goals, but without having them in hand it is premature to launch goals. Obviously we will try to get higher [na classificação]”, said Ivo Vieira, on Channel 11.
The Madeiran coach, noting that “I don’t like to make promises” to supporters, admitted that he and those responsible for the SAD of the Minho club “have not yet closed 50% of the squad”, so he is “in a premature process and difficult to predict in the short term. and medium term “.
In the same interview with channel 11, Ivo Vieira, going back to last March, when he joined Famalicão, confessed that he “did not want to accept” the Minho proposal because it was a “risk” and for idealizing a career break after passing by Saudi Arabia.
“I didn’t want to accept initially. I rejected Famalicão’s proposal more than once and others that came up because I had a strategy for my career. The decision was to stop these two months. I looked at the calendar, I looked at the squad and I thought something it had to have happened to be in that position. I risked my career and took the risk of embracing the project “, said Ivo Vieira.
The Famalicão coach acknowledged that Idan Ofer, the main investor in SAD famalicense, played a decisive role in his acceptance to lead the Minho team. “There was a great desire from the president, which touched me and made me accept,” he said.
Two months after his arrival in Famalicão, with success in the mix, SAD announced, last Monday, the renewal of Ivo Vieira’s contractual bond until 2023. The confidence he felt gave rise to a certainty.
“I have several things that allow me to say that I don’t want to change. Only if there is an extraterrestrial thing that can keep me from my commitment. I’m very happy in Famalicão”, added Ivo vieira.
