Hearts boss Paulo Sergio hails Hampden heroes then admits he's still unsure over futureMay 20 2012 By Gordon Waddell PAULO SERGIO last night hailed Hearts’ Scottish Cup triumph as his crowning glory – but admitted it could still be his parting shot. The Portuguese boss masterminded a glory day for the Jambos over their bitter city rivals to cap his first season at Tynecastle. But with his contract expiring at full-time yesterday, his future is shrouded in mystery. He said: “It was a great result, a great match for us and I’m very proud.

We had to score to be safe.” Sergio also offered words of comfort for those he left out of the 16. He said: “I felt bad for them. “It’s hard this rule, you come to a final and have to lose two places off the bench. I understand the “Young guys like Adrian Mrowiec and David Templeton have time on their side. They were important for us this season and I hope they get to a cup final in future.” Taken from the Daily Record |
