clause at the end of the season and we have now
exercised that option.

and head of football development in 2012, we have
been supportive of him during football management
changes throughout that period.
“On behalf of the club, I should like to state our
thanks for all his efforts during his years with us.
We wish him great success in his managerial career.
“Moving forward, now the season is over, we shall
embark on the process of finding a new head coach.

potential and inspire the kind of performances that
we associate with our great club.”
