“Being in charge of ASSE for seven years was an honour and a source of pride for me. I think ASSE for allowing me to grow as a manager. I recognised myself in the values of the club and its fans. I thank Bernard Caiazzo and Ronald Romeyer for placing their trust in me. I want to thank all of the players and the members of staff without whom this adventure would never have been possible. I thank also all the fans for their support and for having encouraged the team to push itself to its limits.”
