“I would like to be able to enjoy entering the team’s field again, not as a coach but as a fan. I came back to the team and experienced difficult situations and now I would like to enjoy it with my daughters“, he initially reported.

“I’m not expecting a phone call. The truth is, that’s not the case, and I’m not selling myself to go back either“, he added.

And he continued, saying:I want to come back as a fan, I’m a River fan and my answer is clear. My coaching career is in Europe and I don’t know if that will be the case for many years. I always live my football life in a different way than others».

At the end, he talks about his presence at AEK. “We are two points behind the top. We had an excellent year last year, we had the chance to win the championship after many years and also the Cup. We won the double for the third time in the club’s 100 years. This was something very important and today we are in the championship which has a lot of tension“, he said characteristically.
