New "Dinamo" was Born Today

Today at 16:00 Roman Pipia a businessman and owner of “Dinamo” Tbilisi held the first public press conference and stated the following – “Thanks a lot that there is such turmoil. Two months passed and now I am ready to answer all your questions”.

Zurab Pololikashvili was appointed as a manager of “Dinamo” Tbilisi and Buba Tkavadze was fired from director’s position. He worked in “Dinamo” for several times and Pipia thanked him for this.
Pololikashvili is famous for Georgian society, in 2005 was appointed as assistant of Georgian Foreign Minister and in 2006-2009 he was appointed as ambassador of Georgia in Spain and in 2009 was appointed as minister of Economics, but he is not on this position.
Pololikashvili has close relations with Spain and in football sphere too. It is known that he has close relations with former president of “Barcelona” and he helped Giorgi Chanturia to continue career in “Barca”.

- Pololikashvili“Thanks a lot for coming. I did not expect that our press-conference would arise such interest.  I hope to meet each of you at the matches too. It is difficult to explain what is “Dinamo” for Georgians. It is more than club. We will do our best and use all our chances. We think much for achieving our goals. We are ready to listen to journalists, fans and specialists. All of you are welcome in “Dinamo””.
- Are changes planned in coaching board?
- Pipia: We will not discus this topic today. We understand that our result is bad and if it does not improve in the nearest future, there will be changes in any case. We will meet journalists very often and plan everything. It can be said that “Dinamo” is born today.
- Pololikashvili: Before changes we need to analyze everything. Our activities will be transparent and when there are changes you will be informed about it.
- Does Buba Tkavadze stay on his position?  
- Pipia:I want to thank to Tkavadze. He is leaving club. In fact he worked in “Dinamo” for several years and thanks for it.

- Mister Zurab, as we know you have close relations with Spanish clubs.  Will it good for “Dinamo”?
- Pololikashvili:- Of course it will. I have close relations with Spanish best clubs. In the nearest future I am leaving for Spain. We are planning to hire several Spanish coaches. “Dinamo” must be attractive for business. In fact “Dinamo” must become the second National Team of Georgia.
- How much will be budget of “Dinamo”?
- Pipia: We can spend a lot of money but we have to think what it will bring … we started reconstruction of “Dinamo” base.  In three-four days you will see the results. Finance plays big role but there is necessary correct management.
- PololikashviliWe have not decided anything about 2011 budget yet.
- Did you attend last matches of “Dinamo”?
- Pipia:I attended the match against “Spartaki”. I am terribly unsatisfied and I do not know why anyone can like such playing.  We have opportunity to change “Dinamo”.
- Pololikashvili:To tell the truth I did not use to attend matches of Georgian Championship. It is my job’s fault. Now of course I will attend.  Actually leadership of the club has to attend matches.
- What is your goal?
- Pololikashvili:We have to go through sub-group stage of Champions league, but first of all we have to go through Georgian championship.  
- Pipia: Our goal is revive the club.
- What about stadium?
- Pipia: We will play at “Erovnuli” stadium again. City hall also supports us. We want to increase number of viewers and we have to work about it also.
- Pololikashvili:We have marketing plans and want to increase viewers’ number. Tee-shirts and some other equipment will be sold. Why 7-8 years old Georgian has to like “Barcelona” when there is “Dinamo” in Georgia. It is heart-breaking that Georgian fans do not attend matches and it is very difficult to attract them for the matches.
