You do realize that Del Neri didnt coach a single game under Porto. And Porto have one of the best squats around and are also one of the main sides to raid brazilian league every season.
I can understand his desire to stay in the squad, but saying he's versatile and can play on the wing like that is quite worrying. I'm still expecting we see him behind the striker like Del Neri did with Doni at Atalanta.
