“I treated him well as a person and as a coach. First of all, what impressed me about him as a coach was his willingness to work fairly. Whether in Ferencváros, or in the national team, he will earn a lot of money.
Frankov emphasized what he saw as Rebrov’s main advantage.
“Why are we talking about him for two years? I think he just wants to work with his team. A good patriotic impulse. Maybe he is a little unprofessional, because successful club coaches are not attracted to the national team. Except, finally, in himself.
