Addressing his intentions, Salgado said;
“Futsal is an extremely underrated sport. It has been the breeding ground for some of the biggest names in football the world over and I’m glad premier Futsal India is creating a platform that can showcase the sport and give its due.
“I’m really looking forward to reliving those old days and reigniting those old rivalries, this time, on the Futsal court,” he added.
