Moderator: preguiça, welcome. the appointment of Quinteros has generated a lot of buzz. What are your initial impressions?
Preguiça: Its certainly an interesting appointment. Quinteros has a proven track record, especially in south America. His recent success with Emelec in Ecuador, winning the Serie A, shows he knows how to build a winning team. Grêmio needs that kind of leadership right now.

Preguiça: Two things.First, connect with the fans. Grêmio fans are passionate and demanding. If Quinteros can show them he understands the club’s history and values, they’ll get behind him unconditionally. Second, build a team that plays attractive, attacking football. Grêmio fans love to see their team playing with flair and aggression.
