“I am very happy to be at PAOK, it is a move I have wanted to make for many years now. It’s presented itself now, and I think it’s a very good opportunity, which I have to take advantage of and help my new team as much as I can. The team is on the rise and we want to continue this, chasing as many as we can. Very important in my decision was the coach, Josko Milenkoski, with whom I have worked in the past. I feel very comfortable with him and I’m glad he chose me. PAOK is a very big team, chasing all the titles every year”.
