I am absolutely thrilled to be here. There are many familiar faces. I know the situation is not easy, so we will need everyone’s support.

Although I have been working as a coach for several years, the days I spent here (at Fenerbahce) don’t seem so far away anymore. It’s important that I know what Fenerbahce means. This is all very exciting. As for the game against Monaco, I think everyone understands his quality. They are a team that is on a steady path and participated in the Final Four last year.
