“I am very sad that he is being put on trial”

He said what he thought by offering his resignation. We refused it. He is the boss of the high level, in contact with the players, staff and families. He has an eye on 15-25 year olds. He does a great job. For the first time, we have 15-17 year olds at the National Training Center at Roland-Garros, that's what Ivan Ljubicic wanted.”explained Moretton before deploring a misplaced racism. He continued. “I am very sad that he is being put on trial. The coaches of many Olympic federations are foreigners. On December 14, there will be an election and a new era of DTN. My wish is that Ivan obviously stays. With his culture different from ours, he can bring us different things.”
