 Andoni, welcome to AFC Bournemouth. How pleased are you to finally be here? I'm really pleased, really grateful for the opportunity that AFC Bournemouth has given me. And now I know the challenge. I want to start working with the players as soon as possible. And it's, I think, an exciting challenge for me and we have to get ready because it's not going to be easy. I know this, I know the Premier League, now the league is going to be tough, but we have to be prepared. Now you became our head coach at the start of last week, ten days or so has passed since then. What has that period been like for you? A lot of work, even if officially I was on holidays. A lot of work to do, a lot of video, a lot of new faces, new players. One of the reasons I'm here is because I love a lot of the players we already have in the squad. I love the work rate they have and I'm really looking forward to start with them and try to help them as much as possible. You've had a day or so to look around the place, you've seen the training ground, you've seen the stadium. What do you make of the facility here? For me, the facilities are great. I know that club is building new and probably will be much better. But for me the ones we already have are very good, are more than enough to work properly. A lot of new faces, a lot of names to remember. But we are in that process and the thing is once we're on the pitch and the ball starts rolling I think it will be much easier for us. We have to change some things because obviously we have our own ideas but a lot of the things that were well done we want to maintain them, to keep a lot of familiar faces. I think the club also transmits some kind of family club that I love. I'm used to work in these kind of clubs and that's something that we cannot lose. You're in a position now where you've got a full pre-season ahead of you. The transfer window is also open. How valuable is it to have these six weeks to get the squad ready for the 12th of August? I think we have time. We have to work well these five or six weeks before we start the season. Obviously clubs are doing their job in the transfer window but I'm more concerned with the players we already have. I think we have very good players and obviously clubs are trying to improve the team, new faces, new signings who can help us. But I think the core of the group will be the same and I'm really happy because I think we have really good players. The Premier League, it's a new league for you. You've not played here, you've never managed here before. How much are you looking forward to leading a team in this league? I think for me as a coach it's a great challenge. Probably I'm coming to the best league in the world right now. Not probably for sure. We know we are facing, you have only to look at the schedule. We start strong, we have strong matches to start but I think it's also a good thing. It's a good challenge to face the best coaches. I will try to apply my ideas. As we said before, try to maintain a lot of the things that I think are being well done. And then try to make little changes or sometimes bigger changes so we can play probably a different style. In terms of your management career so far, still relatively new. You've only been in management for five years. You had that spell and sight press and then a spell in Spain as well. Most notably with Rayo Vecano, a promotion as well as two back-to-back mid-table finishes. How much did you learn from those different spells in your career so far? Once you finish your playing career you have to start with a different mentality. You start from zero even if you know the game, you know the locker room. But there are a lot of things about methodology, about how to work, how to prepare trainings, how to prepare for the next game that you have to learn. And I think these have been valuable years in my career. I think I arrived in a moment after some good years in Spain where I feel prepared. At the end only results will tell if it's true or not. But I'm really excited to try to prove myself also. And I think I'm coming to a club where we can work together. I've got to ask, I look over the last couple of years, your time at Rayo Vecano. There's some big results in there. Three wins against Barcelona. An impressive three-two win against Real Madrid as well. How much do you relish those big games because there's certainly going to be plenty in the Premier League? I think we have to take every game as an opportunity to take points. Obviously we're going to face the best teams in the world. But you cannot start the season and think, okay, two games against City, two games against Arsenal, two games against United, otherwise you lose 10-12 games and then you have to win the rest. I think we have to maximize our chances, give us options in all games. We have to do our best. Sometimes it's not enough because we're facing very good teams. But you cannot lose the chance and give up as they scored the first goal. Now you're going plenty of plaudits for your style of play. It's attacking, it's high intensity football. Just tell us about it. We want to be an efficient team. And for me, a lot of times to be efficient is to play as close as they box as we can. Probably we will play a little bit higher in the pitch. We want to be direct, to try to maximize our offensive volume. Obviously we will have to defend, we will have to be ready to defend sometimes in the low block because we will be forced. But our main idea will be to play as much as we can in their house. Now that style has been quoted as wild and wonderful. It's also been quoted as rock and roll football. Is that what we can expect to see from your AFC Premier? I hope you're happy. I hope you're happy. I think we have the work rate, especially from our front players, that they can sustain the press. They can make us play as high as we can. So we are closer when we regain possession to their goal. But we have a lot of work to do. We have to implement everything. The players also have to buy the idea. I think from the first impressions I had, talking to them, talking to some players, that they used to work, they always used to train hard and we will need it. Sometimes the coach has to be demanding, but it's our job and I think the players are ready for it. Pre-season starts tomorrow. The lads are back in. How much are you looking forward to meeting them and getting stuck in? I want to start training, I want to start knowing the players. One thing is to watch the player on video and then you don't know really the player. You have to look at the small details, how he trains, how he understands the game, tactically how well they are. I'm looking forward to know, to say for this information, we don't have so much time, but I think it's enough to get prepared for the first game against West Ham. And next week is a trip to Marlborough. It certainly sounds like they're going to be put through their paces. Yeah, I think we have to work. We have to train well. I think, as I said before, they are used to train well. Everyone will be thinking a little bit individually, so they improve their position on the team. But we also have to start thinking collectively. We have a collective idea. Everyone has to be committed, has to be involved. And that's what we're going to try to do these next games. And just finally, for all of the AFC Bournemouth fans who are watching this interview, what's your message to them? I think the fans we have, everyone talks amazingly about them. I think the atmosphere that we can fill in our mentality stadium will be huge, will be key for us. I think we have to make our home kind of a strong place where teams don't want to come to play. And I cannot promise big things. I think they know I will give the best they have. We work together, trying to achieve big things, but I cannot ask anything from them. Landon, you're welcome to AFC Bournemouth. It's great to have you here. Thank you. I appreciate it.
