Steven Pressley, the captain of the Edinburgh team, expressed his full confidence in the team's head coach V. Ivanauskas. According to the Scottish defender, the Lithuanian coach has done enough to lead the team next season.
“Thanks to good team results, he earned respect for himself, and I think he should remain in the head coach position after this season. Valdas is excellent. For some time, he was in the background, in the shadows, and now he is highly respected,” said the team captain.
“He is a good coach. There is one thing that a good coach must always have - good relationships with the players, but also a certain limit that you do not cross. Valdas seems to have all of that, and that is very important for a coach,” added Pressley.
Pressley believes that despite a tough season and backstage issues, the Hearts team is capable of leaving Glasgow outside the Champions League places this year and also winning the national cup.
This is already the second player who has officially expressed great confidence in the new Lithuanian head coach, who took up the position in March after Graham Rix was dismissed. Before that, the team leader, Paul Hartley, also expressed his support for the coach.
