Perugia coach wants Ahn to stay
2002-06-21 14:03
Rome - Perugia coach Serse Cosmi on Thursday added another twist to the Ahn Jung-hwan affair by admitting he would like the axed South
Korean World Cup hero to stay at the Italian club.
Ahn was kicked out by the Serie A side after scoring the goal which dumped Italy out of the World Cup, with president Luciano Gaucci claiming the striker had 'ruined Italian football.'
However, Cosmi, still holds out hope that Gaucci will perform a U-turn on his decision and allow the emerging star to stay on.
"I consider him a player with enormous potential," revealed Cosmi. "I wouldn't have any objection at all if the club decided to extend his contract for next season."
Cosmi's revelation comes after Ahn has vowed to prove Gaucci wrong by earning a big-money move to a better club. - Sapa-AFP
