He will be a very important player for us both on and off the pitch, said Chennaiyin FC head coach Marco Materazzi.Back in June I decided to take a break from football but I always kept the door open for a return and after speaking to Marco I found the motivation again to work hard. So I would like to thank Marco and the Chennaiyin FC owners for believing in me. Marco especially had a big influence in my decision. I am honoured to have the chance to play and work under Marco. Working closely with him will be a great experience for my future coaching career also.I had a very interesting experience last year in India but this year I am more prepared and more excited and cant wait to get started with Chennaiyin FC and help them retain the ISL trophy, Riise stated.Drazen Petrovic Jersey .
