by

My parents never saw me leading a team as a coach». How bad. How unfair. How strange. THE Rui Vitoria he never had his people standing in the stands or in the officiating and showing him off in his suit when he decided to end his presence on the field as a professional footballer and take the next step.

The Portuguese coach, it seems, will take charge of his fortunes Panathinaikou in the post-Diego Alonso era, with the “greens” taking the decision late on Tuesday night to remove Uruguayan technician from the bench. The 54-year-old coach, who has been through clubs such as Benfica, Spartak Moscow, Al Nasrbut also from Egypt national teamhas told his own story on Coaches’ voice.

What he has revealed is moving, but also offers an opportunity for the rest of the world to understand his philosophy Vitoria. And maybe take the next step in remodeling some beliefswhich can be about the importance of the most important secondary thing in life, which is football.

At 32 I made the decision to become a coach. A little while later, my parents were killed in a car accident. They never saw me train. Then not only my profession changed, but also my whole life.

I lost my mother and father on the same day. It was the most negative moment of my life. That’s why now, when I have a problem with a football player or I’ve suffered a big defeat, everything falls into place. Whatever happens, I know I’ve been through much harder times.

The death of my parents made me stronger. I would not say that I have changed as a person, but now I am prepared for any difficulty. I’m no hero, but I totally understand, now, the meaning of life“, he had said.
