Waheed Balogun has revealed his commitment to Los Angeles Liberty FC future.
The gaffer led Los Angeles Liberty FC to the All Africa Tournament 2024 in USA with a promising side which needs more time to understand their selves before ruling the World, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Balogun said he appreciated the opportunity given to him by the LA Liberty FC to lead the team to a major tournament and he understood the pains of the management for the team not reaching the final which he believes the club needs proper understanding to attain glory in the future.
The tactician believes the team is still young and can reach their potential in the nearest future.
He added, he has a huge respect for the team with maximum loyalty which he can't trade for anything.
"I want to appreciate them for the chances given to me to be the head coach of Los Angeles Liberty FC. I know many of them are aggrieved that the team didn't reach the final of the competition but I want them to understand that LA Liberty FC is a baby team that needs time to gel together for proper understanding in the future".
"I am not pleading for second chance but I'm saying this as a coach because I knew that there's no miracle I can perform with what they are expecting which is to be in the final".
"I cannot be in the final because I know that, we have to play our way to the final basically because it's a baby team and at the same time, I am appreciating them for giving the chance to show my talent as a coach and they have seen me which my track record can talk about 100 percent".
"I will never be a betrayal to them because I'm loyal to LA Liberty FC and LA Liberty FC is for me. If I'm given the second chance, no problem but if I'm not given the second chance so be it".
"I want to use this opportunity to thank them for me to lead them in their first major competition ever in California Los Angeles USA. I appreciate them for the chances I was given, I will never take it for granted. Once again, I want to thank the board executives members and other members of the club".
