I had the privilege to get to know a lot of quality people, first of all… coaches, teammates, club management members and others who were with Mega during these years. All of them contributed to my maturation as a player, but also as a man and I am grateful to them. I am proud of all that I have achieved with them. I am also proud because, among all these people, I have gained a lot of friends for my whole life. And that’s the most important thing. I can say with certainty that my mission at the club has been successfully completed. Thank you Mega, you will always be my club, now is the time to move on…
