Sandro Schwarz' appeal to Dynamo family

My beloved Dynamo family!

The last few days have been very difficult for me. And I'm not talking about the defeat in the Cup final, although it also became very painful. First of all, these days turned out to be so hard because I had to say goodbye to Dynamo…

The world has changed a lot in recent months. It is not the same as it was when I extended my contract with the club. Despite these circumstances, I did not leave right away, because this club and the people working there stay in my heart. I felt their attitude and saw their actions. Therefore, it was a matter of principle for me to bring this season to an end.

Unfortunately, we lacked some luck to celebrate a big success in the end. But we can still be proud of what we have achieved TOGETHER.

Dynamo became a real top side that competed for the title. Our team has a recognizable style. The game philosophy is attractive and successful. We have players who have made tremendous progress. Players of a big talent who have character and emotions. I am absolutely sure that these guys will continue to establish themselves in the coming years and their names will be heard. And most importantly, we managed to create an unbreakable link between the fans, the team, the coaching and administrative staff, club employees and the management. Honestly speaking, I have never met such unity anywhere before.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your respect, your support and your trust. I would be happy to say personal words of gratitude to every fan and every employee. But let me name two persons at this moment. Their names are Andrey Voronin and Ivan Ordets.

Well, that's it. Who knows what the future holds for us. In Germany, Goodbye sounds like Auf Wiedersehen – which can be translated as See you soon. I hope that we will really see each other soon in much better circumstances.

Spasibo bolschoje!
