"He [Tiago] was a great player, there is no doubt, everybody knows that and I think the transition between a player to a coach is a good one because you already know how it feels to be a player.

"So it kind of easy to understand players and is easy to pass on the information and the experience that you’ve been through so I think is a great step and he is a great coach for us.

“I just can’t wait for the season to start for you guys to see what he has been coaching us and trying to teach us on the field,” the centre back added.
