Pepa arrives in BH to command Cruzeiro

The coach arrived accompanied by his manager and four assistants: Samuel Correia (technical assistant) Hugo Silva (technical assistant), Pedro Oliveira (physical trainer) and Pedro Azevedo (performance analyst). Pepa, before leaving the airport towards Toca da Raposa (where he will be staying), stopped to speak with the press and tell about how he feels about being the new coach of the club from Minas Gerais.

‘‘A huge challenge, but I come full of desire. I’m tired from the trip, but very ambitious. Incredible feeling. It’s a club that I remember some players like Luisão, Ronaldo, Alex and others I hear about, Dirceu, Tostão. It’s a historic club, a champion and with a crowd that needs no introduction and that I’m looking forward to getting to know, feeling the vibe. It’s a structure that I can relate to, a cast that has my tremendous confidence. I look forward to working”said.

Since Paulo Pezzolano announced his departure from Cruzeiro, the club soon went after and signed an agreement with Pepa, which would have been approved by Ronaldo Fenômeno for fitting in the style of play demanded by Brazilian football.

Pedro Miguel Marques da Costa Filipe, known as Pepa, is from the city of Torres Novas, Portugal. After suffering several injuries, he would have decided to retire as a player and then, he started his career as a coach in 2009, his first team was the Sub-19 of Taboeira POR.

In his country, he has already worked for several teams, such as: Benfica’s under-17 team, then Sanjoanense, Feirense, Moreirense, Tondela, Paços Ferreira and Vitória de Guimarães. Outside the country, his first experience would have been last year when he trained Al Tai, from Saudi Arabia, but he didn’t have good numbers.
