“Of course, it’s a huge amount of money … it’s an amazing amount of moneyI said yesterday and some people laughed at me, but this move for me is not about the money, it’s about hopefully making a difference in the US with the soccer and that’s what I’m going there for. I’m going for the life, of course, for my kids to enjoy it and my wife to enjoy it, but the main thing for me is to improve the soccer and to improve the standard and to be part of history really.”
