Husam Ayesh, 27, recently confirmed that he is leaving IFK Gothenburg.
For Sportbladet, the winger talks about his time at the club, the feud with Mikael Stahre, the end and the future.
– She was troubled, he says.
During the summer of 2019, Hossam Ayesh was recruited IFK Gothenburg The closest came from Östersund.
The 27-year-old winger played 109 games for Blåvitt, which he is now leaving. Aiesh is divided as he describes his time at the club.
There are positive things, but there are negative things as well. From everyone’s point of view, the atmosphere was turbulent at IFK Gothenburg. Both with players and managers. Being in such an environment may not benefit the individual. But he says there are also many pluses.
He details his thoughts on the fact that the matter was turbulent and points out the decisions to replace players on the team.
– In each window, we replaced the whole team.
“Confession should have been better.”
During his time at IFK in Gothenburg, Aiesh had many different coaches. First Pouya Asbaghi, then Roland Nelson and finally Michael Stahr.
The world of football is governed by results, and the captains/coaches often end up when things go wrong. You do not replace an entire squad. Unfortunately, the results were poor. If I support the decisions (to change coaches)? Maybe I can’t say that. But I understood.
In the past few days, the technical winger, along with Alphonse Nygaard and Tim van Acema, who have made 26 appearances for the club, have received thanks to IFK Gothenburg’s website. An article that sparked a backlash on social media, when many supporters thought it should have commanded more recognition.
– Perhaps IFK Göteborg’s farewell would have been a little better. But this is sometimes the case. I will not laugh about it. They shouldn’t have done it on purpose.
– I stayed there for 3.5 years and had a great time, I think anyway. A great club with great people around it and great supporters.
Am I right in saying you expected more?
For me, it is important that you treat and respect all the players in the club as equals. When players have made more than 100 matches compared to someone who has achieved zero, one or two, you might thank in a slightly different way. But I don’t lose sleep because of it.
– However, I must make one thing clear: I did not part with Gutenberg as an enemy. I was at Mikael Stahre recently, the day before yesterday I think, we hugged and said goodbye. Absolutely no problems and wish each other good luck.
Controversy confirms: “There was …”
There was talk of an incident … then against Elfsborg, is there any truth to the fact that there was a rift between you and Stahre?
– It was there, I can tell. We have analyzed it well. In the media it was probably much worse. It started after two games. Maybe it wasn’t what people thought. Maybe I don’t want to go into what happened. Regarding the club and me. It is our decision.
You know you’re back after two games. There has been speculation about the suspension. Was it so?
– No, I’ve said that before. My wife was pregnant and her due date was late. I wanted to be with her.
Would you like to continue at Blåvitt? Was it mutual to separate?
– I was satisfied with these years. You should always have an acceptance of what is going on and you may not always share the philosophy of the game with your coach. You have to accept it.
What will happen now, where will you end up next?
– There are things on the table. I don’t know how clear that is. I don’t want to rush. But it is the tenders abroad that participate mainly.
Aiesh says that before moving to Blåvitt he had offers from Allsvenskan competitors.
– When I arrived, I chose to choose clubbing. Allsvenskar’s top three clubs were on the table and if I had picked any of them I would have had the gold SM by now.
Do you regret?
– very hard question. You say no to SM gold and the European Games. But if I had chosen, I would have probably sat on the bench. No, I do not regret it.
