by

Poget again in AEK; «Why not“Seems to be in mind the Uruguayan coach, who was at the helm of the” yellow-blacks “this season 2015-16.

In his statements to Nova, on the show Monday FC of Demi Nikolaidis and Giannis Pangou, the 54-year-old coach did not close the door to the Union. The opposite can be said. «My relationship with my president – that’s what I call him – Melissanidis, is excellent“, He pointed out, but also:”I would have no problem working with him again».

In addition, the Poget talked about his passage from five years ago AEK and the reasons for the “divorce” with the club.

Gustavo Poget spoke -among other things- to Nova about:

-his term in Greece: «It was fantastic. When I was in the Premier League I had various suggestions. When I heard about AEK, I had a premonition, I said to myself I like this. You have to go and show things. It took us a while to find the steps, but since January we have been doing well. The relationship with the players was fantastic. The derbies are unforgettable. You win a derby and you say ok it is not bad, then you win and second, then you win and third. You say we are here. It was awesome.

I think a lot of things in Greece, and that is a personal point of view, look like Uruguay. We are not the same, some are Europeans, some are South Americans. But the passion, the way we play football, the way we react, when we lose or when we win made me feel at home. I have come a few times without you knowing it and I did the things I could not do while I was a coach. I visited one day, I went to the islands. I always wanted to maintain this relationship with Greece, because of these seven months “.

-the player who stood out due to his cooperation: «From Greece, we had a good team. Special relationship, I will always remember the expression of Petros Mandalos when I left. The night before the Cup semifinal. It was all right, the negotiations did not work out and I remember I went to Petros, who was the leader and I told him it was over, he was looking at me as if he was telling me why, how δό football. I think Petros and I evolved together. I will tell you something else. I came on a Thursday, I did two training sessions and we played away with Panathinaikos, a 0-0. I told Simoes three things and he did all three. It was a machine. We had after Jimbur… uh, it was fun. Difficult question. I think the players who understood the most were probably Gallo, Petros without a doubt and Simoes».

-the reason he left AEK: «Negotiations… I came and the club was satisfied with these eight months. I had the feeling that everything would be fine. We started negotiations, I was not involved, only my manager, there was no agreement and I left. My relationship with my president – that’s what I call him – Melissanidis, is excellent. At some point, you do not know, we were in a restaurant, we greeted and talked. There is nothing wrong with that. I will bring you the example of Sunderland, I have a very good relationship with the American owner. But one day he told me to leave. Mister, hello, go home. And the same with Melissanidis. I would have no problem working with him again. He’s in charge, he’s the boss, I’s the coach, so you have to accept that».
