Through a statement, sporting director Fabio Paratici left words of praise for the Portuguese: “I know how much Nuno and his technical team want to succeed and I’m sorry we made this decision. Nuno is a true gentleman and will always be welcomed here. We would like to thank you and your technical team and wish them all the best for the future.”
