Football expert and trainer Pavel Stipidi admitted that he expected “ridiculous” transfers under Spartak’s new sports director Tomas Amaral, saying Costa Rican footballer Manfred Ugalde won the argument due to his transfer from Dutch Twente. His words guide the way “Euro-Football.Ru”.
“To be honest, I won a bet with my friends over a box of cognac. They’re all old people, they’re all football players. I told them that in a month, with this Amaral, Spartak will have time to make a ridiculous purchase. And so it happened. Funny Ugalde has already been brought to Spartak – now I’m waiting for a box of cognac to be brought to me,” said Stipidi.
Ugalde moved to Spartak at the end of January 2024 for €13 million + €2 million bonus. The striker, who played 25 matches in all competitions for Twente this season, recorded 9 goals and 7 assists in these matches.
