We maintained contact throughout the game, and we have a courier delivering messages to him at full-time," Goal.com quoted Moreno as saying.

Moreno further added that he will be there so the team as long as the team needs him but Enrique will remain the manager of the team.

"I am here for as long as I am needed, but Luis remains manager of the team," he said.
