The City boss said: “I just arrived 10 days ago and we are going to try and do our best for our people, our fans and our players and make everyone proud. I want them to be proud of what we do and what they see.
Asked about transfer activity he said: “All the clubs in the world want to improve and we are no different - but here is not the place to speak about that out of respect for players and other clubs.
“We want to improve the squad a little bit but we will see. I am here to prove myself. It would have been comfortable to stay where I was but I feel this is the right moment to move here.
“I know how difficult it is in England to win four five or six games in a row so that is our challenge. Maybe we’re not going to win every game but we are going to try and we will do our best.
“This is a challenge, but that’s why I’m here – to prove you can play the sort of football I like my teams to play and be successful in the Premier League.
“It would have been comfortable to stay where I was but I feel this is the right moment to move here.”
On Manchester and the CFA he commented: “This place is amazing. The best place for young players to improve skills. Whether we play good or bad it won’t be the facilities.
“At Barca we had the best player ever and all the players who grew up from the academy and Bayern we had fantastic players as well.”
