The goalkeeper of the Hungarian national team, Péter Szappanos, said goodbye to Paksi FC on his social media page and is leaving the cup winner.
“It is a great pleasure and honor that I was able to confirm for Paks. I am grateful that I can be here, that the club leaders thought of me after Szappanos left. My goals are clear, I want to experience a successful season with the team similar to last year. It would be nice to win a medal and a cup again, the last time I was part of such things, my little son was very small, but from my point of view, it would also be great to have a satisfied conclusion after a year. I miss successes. Most of the team is familiar, I have only heard good things about the environment in the dressing room. The close-knit, family atmosphere is also visible from the outside, this is the strength of Paks. I would like to be a full-fledged member of the team as soon as possible, I am excitedly waiting for the tasks” Kovácsik told paksifc.hu.
After five rounds – but having played four matches – Paks is in fourth place in the table with seven points, and on Thursday they will play for the Conference League group stage against Mladá Boleslav, with which they finished 2-2 in the first away match.
