Pressure? Screw that, it is the big opportunity for the old guy! He has been in the back rooms of Inter for a long long time now! None of the pressure or attention will be new to him, it will just be ON him for the first time in a while!
I think as he begins to understand his role he will do great. He is like an ambassador at this point, telling Jose the club's philosophy, background, current situation, and so on. Who better to tell him all about Fatic, Bolzoni and Super Mario? Or to tell him how important the Argentines are for Inter, like Cambiasso, Samuel, Capitano and Cruz. This guy is the perfect guy to tell Jose the Italian perspective, the local fan perspective, and so on. I think its going to be awesome!
