THE TRAINING’S STATEMENT
“I am looking forward to the new challenge. I have known the star since I was in AEL and Atromitos. It is a very good, serious club, in a situation that does not suit him and has to change. I have faced such situations in my career and I am here to do the same.
It’s not the time for many words, but for a lot of work. It is important to beat the next game and change the direction.
I hope the ASTERA fans will enjoy what they will watch in the fields. I would like to ask them to be with us, to support us and we will fight a great fight and do the best for them. “
