Belec: “I jumped at the chance to join Samp”

After joining Sampdoria from Benevento following a quickly arranged transfer on deadline day, Vid Belec was keen to express his gratitude to the club and president Massimo Ferrero for the opportunity given him.

“I’m really happy and I can’t wait to get down to work with [goalkeeping coach Luigi] Turci and my team-mates,” the Slovene goalkeeper, 27, told Samp TV in an exclusive interview.

“Samp were really famous in Slovenia when they won the Scudetto in ’91. Srecko Katenec, who was our national-team coach until a few months ago, played in that side. After him and [Luka] Kranjc, now I’m the third Slovene to don these colours.

“I can promise the fans that I’ll give my all for this club day in day out.”
