Pereira: I had a great conversation with Arsenal, but they finally chose Arteta

May 3rd Since Pereira took over Wolves in early December, the team has won 10 wins in the Premier League and achieved relegation ahead of schedule. In an exclusive interview with the Telegraph, Pereira talked about her past experience of being rejected by Premier League clubs.

"Do you know how many negotiations I've been to England? The first time was about 15 years ago, with West Brom, the second time was Everton, the third time was Crystal Palace, they gave me a two-and-a-half-year contract, but then changed their minds and chose another coach, and I realized that this is common here."

"I talked to Chelsea after that, and talked to Everton again, and Arsenal. I had a very long and very pleasant conversation with Arsenal, but in the end they chose Arteta. Watford was the only team I refused, because They were just relegated (2020) and I didn't want to go. "

"Football is like a drug to me, I can't do without it, so I want to compete with the best teams. I've made a lot of mistakes in my career that have made me stronger, whether it's getting along with stars, managing big-name players, bringing confidence to the team in the middle of the season or having an impact on the first day of coaching. So I'm very grateful to Wolves for giving me the opportunity to play at my best in the Premier League."

Recently, there is news that Manchester United is trying to sign Cooney from Wolves Ya, on this, Pereira said: "I don't know what will happen. What we need to know is that the club will definitely keep moving forward. With or without Cunia, we will work hard to build a strong team. Because you can't build a team around a player, I don't believe that. So did he tell me that I want to leave? No, we have never had such a conversation, and if possible, I want to keep almost the entire lineup. Of course, if there is a player who is unhappy and wants to transfer, then we need to have a candid conversation and make a decision."

As for myself In the future, Pereira revealed that he is expected to hold talks with Wolves' senior executives soon: "I'm not here to relegate. Looking at my career, this is not my style of doing things. In the summer, we will see how to do it, whether to introduce the right players to rebuild the team and make the team stronger. I believe this is not a question of how much money, but to choose the right goal and work hard to achieve it. We can't make mistakes, we must do better than other teams. I believe that if we can do the right thing, we have the ability to come to the middle of the standings and even have higher expectations."
