DSK Shivajians extends contract with Spaniard Juan Quero

DSK Shivajians Football Club retained Spaniard Juan Quero for the 2016-17 season, the I-League football club announced today.
The former Read Madrid youth player joined DSK Shivajians FC in February and his inclusion made a strong impact on the team's performance in its debut year which led to the management handing him a contract extension.
In his first season at the Pune club, Quero started 10 matches, scored three goals, apart from creating three more. His brace against Mohun Bagan in an away match at the Barasat Stadium, Kolkata, which helped the club earn a 3-3 draw, was the highlight of his impressive performance.

Dave Rogers, First Team Manager of DSK Shivajians FC, said: "I have been watching Juan since he arrived at our club, during the middle of last season. The most notable ingredient I saw in him was his passion. It was important for me to tie down Juan to a new contract as he has vast experience and creative ability.
"I have seen the impact he can make, first-hand, on the pitch, and I am certain that he will breed enthusiasm and expertise to the rest of the squad and especially, our younger players. I look forward to working with him daily on the training pitch and encouraging Juan to drive us forward and lead by example," he added.

"It is my personal pleasure to sign a new contract with DSK Shivajians FC. I enjoy working with the First Team Manager Dave Rogers as the passion and confidence he instills in us players is unparalleled," said the Spaniard.
"This year, I am confident that DSK Shivajians FC will play to win every match with energy and desire to finish as high up the I-League table as possible," he added.
