“I’d like to thank the Crown Prince of Johor, Johor Darul Ta’zim FC and the fans for the excellent support I’ve had both as a player and manager. I leave with very fond memories and I was deeply touched by the gesture of naming a stand at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium after me, “he added.

“It has been a wonderful journey, winning multiple trophies and making countless new friends that I now call family,” Luciano continued.

“All the best JDT and may our paths cross again in the future,” he said.
