Outgoing AS FAR Rabat technical director Fernando Da Cruz is reportedly on his way to Kaizer Chiefs who are restructuring ahead of the new season.
Da Cruz is a close ally of Nasreddine Nabi who is rumoured to be on his way to Black and Gold once he is done guiding the Moroccan side in the Throne Cup.
Da Cruz has now bid the North African outfit goodbye in anticipation of a new adventure in South Africa.
“It’s time for me to say goodbye and thank you for the time I spent with you! My adventure will be full of encounters and emotions! With these few words, I wanted to thank, General Haramou and President Ayoubi, for the confidence they have placed in me in my various roles and missions,” the Frenchman said.
“Thanks to Colonel Major Malek for his collaboration and daily availability, which will have been valuable to me at the training center. Thanks to all of my staff, especially Hicham, Ayman and Hassan who accompanied me. You have allowed me to enrich myself professionally and grow as a man! A deep friendship is born.
“Thanks to all the players I’ve worked with! Your involvement and performances symbolize the most beautiful rewards in my eyes. Thanks to you, I was able to live fantastic emotions and moments! Thanks to the trainers of the training center, Soufiane, Azzedine, Amine, Younes, to the video analysts for their daily investment and the quality of your work, you can be proud of it,” he added.
“Thank you to all the employees who accompanied me and who always made me feel that AS Far was my home. There are so many of you I can’t name you all!
“Finally to conclude, thank you to the supporters, this fantastic audience who gave me so many goosebumps during the big meetings, you were a major player in winning the title as well as the players! I was proud to wear your colors with loyalty and dedication.
“AS FAR deserves such an audience! I leave with a sense of duty accomplished, and wish you all the best! I will never forget you! See you soon Insha’Allah!”
