fRoD reveals that he did not plan to leave LOUD

In the interview, the Brazilian coach revealed that he would go to MIBR when bzkA was hired, however, LOUD made him an offer that he could not refuse. Furthermore, he stated that he had no intention of leaving LOUD and that for this reason, he did not receive proposals from any other team.

“The truth needs to be told, he (bzkA) and I were going to MIBR together last year. I got a call from LOUD and I couldn’t miss the opportunity and he was completely understanding.”

“When it comes to this year, I didn’t really get any offers. I don’t believe it was because they weren’t interested, but I simply never put myself out there (LOUD). My goal was to stay with LOUD. Our relationship was fantastic, but when I realized that things were not good I spoke to bzkA and he told me that the doors would be open”.
