“Four very emotional years”
Skhiri writes: “Dear FC fans! After four very emotional years that I have experienced at your side, it is now time to say goodbye.” And: “I would like to say a big thank you to all those who have walked the path with me over the past few years. I will take these experiences and these wonderful moments with me by your side.”
Skhiri explicitly thanks FC (“who is so special, familiar and traditional, who lives these rare values”), the fans (“who were so extraordinary, unforgettable and loyal. You are the soul of FC”) and the city (“ which is so open and warm and where I met wonderful people. Here, where our daughter was born, we could also feel comfortable as a family”).

Skhiri’s words to Baumgart and the crew
Last but not least, he addresses himself to his team. Skhiri: “Thanks to my teammates, the coaching team and the entire staff, who accompanied and supported me every day. I’ve had the privilege of working with warm-hearted and professional people here. I am very proud to have been part of this FC family and to have worn this jersey. Proud to have walked the field in red and white. I will not forget you, I will keep you in my heart.”
Emotional farewell words. Also, because now the restart is perfect? Skhiri at least hints that he has already decided on a new club and writes: “A new adventure is waiting for me. A new phase that I hope will allow me to evolve and advance to achieve my dreams and sporting goals.”
