Renner talks about starting his coaching career: Thanks to the club s trust, it only took half an hour to adapt to the new role

Former goalkeeper Pepe Reina, who has played for the Spanish national team, Barcelona, Liverpool, Napoli and Villarreal, said on Thursday that he felt "very lucky" to start his coaching career in Villarreal's U19 echelon.

Reiner said: "This is not an opportunity for everyone, I am like at home here. Thanks to the club's trust, equipped me with a great coaching team and a great player roster, and the willingness and attitude of the players to work have surprised me."

"This is a crucial year for everyone and a prologue to the top. The upcoming season is wonderful because Villarreal U19 will have the opportunity to play in the Youth League.

"We want to be competitive and become a topic of conversation. My game mode will be similar to what Surrey advocates, and I was influenced by Gattuso in terms of interpersonal communication. You can learn from all coaches, even from things you shouldn't do. At certain moments, I try to draw from everyone. "

"As a coach, I will uphold the same values as I showed during my time as a player. I will try to be an honest, loyal and just person. Creating a healthy locker room atmosphere and advocating a culture of competitive spirit, high standards and hard work has defined my career. "

"The main goal is to improve the level of the young men and protect the youth training system, the most important asset of the club. Transport as many of them as possible to the first team, making them mature men and players ready to enter professional football the next year. It took me only about half an hour to get used to the new role in the club. ”

"My two sons will play in the club's youth training echelon, and my wife is very happy to be back to our Poblet. This is a decision that will be made whether it involves football or not. We were planning to come back here to live, but if we had the opportunity to start our coaching career here, it would be better. ”

Regarding my future in the coaching bench, Reiner said: "I plan to have a long coaching career. I have just started. I have to do a lot of preparation, improvement and learning. As of now, it feels good because you can feel the players listening to you. The club equipped me with a team of coaches that were excellent, they accompanied me and helped me during this transition period. ”
