Even though I’m not part of his inner circle. His appointment? Why not ? He has the ability. It’s like when you wonder if a player made the right choice by signing for such and such a club. Unfortunately, we only know afterwards. Thierry will be judged on his results. Qualification for the next Euro, the Olympics. Thierry is Thierry. He has an aura in relation to his playing career. He had several experiences on the bench too. He is thoroughly. He’s going to do everything he can to make it work.”said the Basque in the columns of the sports daily.
