"It’s a feeling of great happiness, joy and anxiety," he told Vasco's website.

"I lived abroad for a long time, so it really is a feeling of coming home, to the place where I grew up, to the place I love, the club I love.

"Everyone, my family, knows how happy I am and they are all happy about this return."
