"I can only reiterate what I already said last month: John Fust is our head coach for the 2022-23 season" reads the statement of Petr Svoboda. "We want to continue on this path, and we never sought to deviate from it. John has my full confidence" continues the Czech, who is also co-owner of Lausanne HC.
Earlier today to Le Matin, John Fust himself already defined this rumor as "totally false" and "a maneuver of an agent seeking to promote his client".
