You have to work hard, and ultimately it all comes down to results. I believe Spartak represents the toughest challenge so far.”
Carcedo also confirmed he stays in touch with fellow coach Unai Emery. “We exchanged messages just a couple of days ago. I always follow his work and am delighted for him.”
