“No nostalgia for the changing area as a dressing room, however, dining out alongside the squad enjoying conversation, that’s nice. Success was frequent thus frequently positive atmosphere around the place. I can still hear the captain's chuckle vividly recalled as an instance.”

Praise for His Successor

Heartfelt Words for the Late Forward

He shared movingly regarding the passing of the Portuguese star, whom he brought in while in charge, and its impact at the club. The forward was killed in a car crash alongside his brother this past summer.

“How do you replace such an individual? This isn't just regarding the player himself, his personality mattered. It's hard to picture the dressing room missing him. Putting it into words is tough on this topic. It was an incredible shock for his teammates too. No one within the club might employ it as an excuse but it is the situation. Entering the changing area where he was omnipresent. Handling this on a personal level is challenging. Unbearable.”
