«I’m excited to begin my coaching journey with NAVI, and I’ll do everything I can to bring the team to a level we’ll be proud of. It’s especially important to be doing this alongside young, yet very talented players.
Yes, we’ll have to build a lot from scratch, constantly learn, and make certain adjustments along the way. But I’m confident that we’ll put in all our effort and ultimately build a system that can support the team for years to come.»
