“I know you are really disappointed in me and in the team. I want to say thank you, we are very grateful for your support during the season, and I know it was really hard to support us in many games.

But now we have to make a choice or we stay stuck in the past because this season is in the past -- it’s over. We fight each other or we stick together and move forward.

“Six months ago, in my first three games in charge, with two victories and one draw, I said to you, ‘the storm is coming,’” he reflected.

“Today, after this disastrous season, I want to tell you the good days are coming.
