“We wanted to make sure that the project succeeds. [But] we ended the season on a very, very low note after we started very, very well. It’s just that things were not consistent. The fluctuation of results also unsettled us.

“To sum it up all, I would say injuries hindered our progress this past season and unfortunately it’s something we couldn’t control, we couldn’t control injuries.

“Football is a contact sport and anything can happen. I’ve never seen so many injuries in one season. We lost two players at some point, who collided with each other – it just didn’t make sense.”

“As I said, injuries were the enemy of progress,” he added.

“It was for sure a tough one, but everything happens for a reason. We are all part of the game.

“I’m a coach, who is ambitious, who wants to win games. The first thing as a coach, you want to win the league, you want to win silverware.

“You want to see players improving, you want to see players going to the national team, you want to see players going overseas, and you want the team campaigning in the CAF Champions League in the future,” the former winger concluded.
