“It was important that the coach knew about the Lithuanian league. He was here briefly, but followed the events throughout the year.

In the first 2021. The season training “Sūduva” should meet on January 18, and V. Basadre should arrive earlier in Marijampol antes.
“One day” Sūduva “contacted me and asked if they would be interested in talking about working at Marijampolė,” said the new head coach of “Sūduva”. – The next day we had a long conversation about me, the current situation at the club and expectations, all the usual for this type of conversation. A few days later, a virtual meeting took place again: with the club leaders and the people who helped them, we talked for a long time about various things: my understanding of football, methodologies and ideas, club opportunities, budget .

It didn’t take long because the details of the contract are not that important to me, what matters most to me is the sports part. “Sūduva” is one of the strongest clubs in Lithuania, in recent years it has become very well known in Europe, so it is a good place for the coach to work. We have to build a team, prepare well for the season and step by step, fight for victory in each game to get the title of champion.
