‘I try to turn the page and focus on what we can manage’ said Head Coach National Teams Devis Mangia ahead of the match against Slovakia. ‘We have to forget the last game, and we have forgotten and will now have to focus on the next match’ said Devis Mangia.
‘I respect the team and know how hard they worked. I am responsible for the team. I believe in the project and will be behind them always’ reiterated Devis Mangia.
