Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “After the game (against Bournemouth), of course we wanted to win, I think we had a little bit the idea—of course we didn’t have the idea but it was a bit like, we were all upset.
“And then when I heard the news, to be honest in the beginning I was a little bit surprised, because the manager did very good for us.
“He did an unbelievable season last year, he was doing a good season this year.
“Of course, we wanted to do better, we always want to do better.”
