CHIVAS USA DEFENDER JONATHAN BORNSTEIN
"As an assistant [last] year, Preki helped my game so much. His knowledge of the game is far greater than I have ever known anyone to have. As a head coach, he is going to have great success, and it's just a matter of him getting his feet wet."
CHIVAS USA MIDFIELDER AMADO GUEVARA
"The team has made a great decision, which helps motivate us as players, because we know that the team will keep following the same path as last year. This helps the transition, because Preki knows us already and we know his working style."
"I had the opportunity to play against him. He was a great player, and I know that all his experience and quality as a player he will bring to the table as a head coach. I hope that with him we will manage to achieve all the team's goals."
CHIVAS USA MIDFIELDER SACHA KLJESTAN
"I'm excited. Preki was here last year, he knows us, and we know him. He also encourages creativity and attacking soccer. We'll play attractive soccer, so it will be good for the fans, but he also demands a lot of discipline."
CHIVAS USA DEFENDER CLAUDIO SUÁREZ
"[Preki] is the ideal man to continue working with the base of players from last season and give continuity to the project. It's his first time as a head coach, but he learned much from his experience last year as a member of the coaching staff. He always has had good communication with the players and the fact that we all know him makes things easier."
"Our relationship with him has always been excellent. He's very studious as far as tactics are concerned, and he likes for the team to control the ball. He is very participative, because always joins in training sessions. He's competitive, his mentality is good and he demands of all players that they bring a winning mentality."
