RETIREMENT
In July 2018 he announced his retirement from competitive water polo to become the president of Ferencvarosi TC. "I thank the club for the trust it has granted me. I will continue my life with great commitment to this club that has given me so much. For about six months, I have already done this task in parallel with playing, and I thank my teammates who did not create conflicts resulting from this role. It has not been easy for me in the last six months to have this double burden, but I wanted to learn how to run the club." (waterpoloitaly.com, 01 Jul 2018) |
