Even if I want to continue, it is the president who decides. “
On his future, he added: “The contract is the most important thing for me, which is the contract of trust that the president and I have.. This situation is not a problem for me. I could continue or do something else after the Qatar World Cup. I am satisfied with my job as a coach, being in a team is completely different. I am at the highest level, I have the best players and I am in the best competitions. “
