It was probably scripted somewhere, and had to happen one day..
It wasn't about if or not, but rather, when!
Though there was no way I expected this day to come so soon, but missing out on Europe, doing so bad in the league, a deteriorating team, performances, ambition.. my team lacked soul!
And that is something I just can not accept!
I gave well over 2 full decades on the pitch for my team, and today, it's just not a football club to me, it's the way of life for me and my family..
It runs in my blood, my very veins!
I was somewhat prepared for this day, albeit not expecting it so soon, but I have had my coaching badges, travelled to the home ground many a times, went watching the team play away as well..
Going to games not involving my team to watch young players around Europe to advise on potential wonderkids, and so on..
Now I am to take over, and guide my club back to where it belongs, among the best in Europe- a team that everybody would pray not to face, like how we were in the past, and to become a dominating force again in our league!
I was the decorated Number 3...
For the next season, and maybe more, I'll be the numero uno at the club, its helm..
Maybe I come close to be as decorated as when I wore the number 3!
