Slavia Prague coach expects interesting match against Sabah

The UEFA Champions League league-phase match between Azerbaijan's Sabah and Czech club Slavia Prague will be an interesting one, Slavia head coach Jindrich Trpisovsky said.

According to Report, the 50-year-old coach made the remarks in an interview with the club's official website while discussing Slavia's opponents in the tournament.

"I'm most looking forward to facing Aston Villa coach Unai Emery. I like the story of Sabah's coach, Valdas Dambrauskas. It will be an interesting game. We will face Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta for the fourth time. He is a great figure both as a player and as a coach," Trpisovsky said.

Sabah will host Barcelona of Spain, Borussia Dortmund of Germany, Napoli of Italy and Slavia Prague in Baku during the UEFA Champions League league phase.

The Azerbaijani champions will play away against Arsenal and Manchester United of England, Villarreal of Spain and Viking of Norway.
