Hurzeler praises Coppola’s professionalism, character, and dedication, emphasizing the importance of having depth in the squad, especially during a season where every player aims to showcase their skills ahead of major tournaments like the World Cup.

The coach expresses his commitment to the ongoing development of the squad, highlighting the importance of unity and continuity as Albion strives to strengthen day by day, with the goal of improving both on and off the pitch.
