“I want to thank the Management of Vandrezzer FC for the trust reposed in me. I am excited to get the opportunity to lead such a big club and I look forward to winning titles with the club, As we prepare for the new season, we would work very hard to make the lion’s den a hard-hitting place for visiting teams as we play for maximum points,” he added.
