"I want to say thank you very much to the boss (JDT owner, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim), the manager, all my staff and players.
"I arrived in JDT in difficult moments, it's not easy when you arrive at the team who always wins and you have to go the same way. It's a tough time but I'm glad we made it," he said at the post-match press conference here.
Meanwhile, Man Of The Match, Fernando Forestieri said that he was very pleased and thanked everyone who made it possible as they knew how much the team worked for it and that it was an amazing year having won four cups.
Selangor coach Selangor Tan Cheng Hoe also expressed satisfaction about how his team played in the final even though they had to accept defeat.
