Emilio Izaguirre insists his goal in his new job is to help players develop like he did with Kieran Tierney at Celtic.
The Honduran is just as proud of helping his fellow left-back develop into the Premier League star he is today at Arsenal, and the pair have kept in contact since their Parkhead days. Izaguirre was this week named sporting director of boyhood club Motagua and opened up on his relationship with the Celtic academy product.
He told Diez: "I remember that at Celtic in 2015 they gave me three boys to train like me, eat what I ate. There I realised that it was not to be directing, but for something bigger. In two years I prepared Kieran Tierney, who went to Arsenal. This is how my desire to prepare athletes and have the structure, not only of one, but of many to send abroad, to hire good players for the team.
