Why was this too good an opportunity to turn down and what will your philosophy be here?
"You have to look at the football club here. The tradition, the quality, the size of the club, the ambition of the club to compete in the Champions League and compete at the top of the Premier League. It's a completely different challenge from the one I've had.
"I had three fantastic years at Brighton, an amazing football club, but I am thankful to the ownership here for putting their trust and belief in me to work with an exciting group of players to be competitive and put a team on the pitch that our supporters are really proud of. I'm very excited, as you can imagine, and looking forward to getting going."
