“I’m very happy that Igor has joined our coaching staff. He will fulfill the role of my assistant and coach young players that will allow us to do a better job at different levels of the academy.

Being experienced at the highest level of the game was one of the main factors in our choice and I am sure Igor will pass his knowledge to the young guys from the academy.

Of course, he has a lot to learn, since the coaching position is something new for him but together we’ll make it.”
