The time has come to say goodbye, not in the way I would like (with everyone on the pitch) but it is what it is. After 6 years I have a lot of feelings inside me, it is difficult to find the right words, so I will be brief. Thank you very much. 6 wonderful years in which we enjoyed each other a lot. I think I can say that I will not forget what we went through. I hope that this period of 6 years becomes a habit in our lives. As they say, once PAOK.
You became my second home and you will always have deep in my heart, I will not forget how you made the club great and how you made the difference. Thank you very much everyone in the Association for these 6 years and I learned a lot through details. Many thanks to Mr. Savvidis for what I learned but I have to say that he gave me one of the most important lessons in my life with his words and it was the following. In life you can lose many things, struggles, money, time but never respect. If you lose respect it does not go back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, that I keep them inside me forever and who knows maybe we will meet again. PAOKARA … !!!
Because I can not hug all the people I would like, I would like to say thank you, everyone …
