Statements in Media of Ireland were made by Gustavo Poget. The Uruguayan coach, whose name recently “played” for the country’s national team, clarified in “Irish Times” how he only looks at Greece’s matches in the playoffs and qualifying for the Euro!
What Gustavo Poget said in detail:
“Right now, I promise you. No one contacted me. I have no proposal from Ireland. I was surprised to see this news in the UK papers. As you can imagine, it made news in Greece, but, no, there was nothing.
I had a few proposals in December and I explained to everyone that it’s great when people want you to go and manage a club or a national team, but timing is also important, as is respect.
My contract expires on March 31, regardless of the playoffs, so we’ll see. I am completely focused on the playoffs. It is our priority to go to the Euro after 10 years since Greece went to a major competition.
Any answer I give here, they will kill me in Greece. People get upset when we tell the truth. I finished two contracts when I was a player.
My four-year contract at Real Zaragoza I played every minute until the last minute. I did it again at Chelsea after my contract renewal. I wasn’t afraid of getting hurt. I signed a contract and the contract ended at the end of the season.
Here it is the same. There are no secrets. People are asking is there a chance I won’t be the manager if we qualify for the Euros? I do not know. Right now, I don’t have a contract. This is the truth. If people get upset with the truth, fine. I’m old enough not to face the truth. Time will tell. The focus is to make sure we qualify. After that, I don’t know».
