Sydney FC To Use Staff Interpreters for Piero Quispe, Not Teammates

Coach Ufuk Talay said assistant John Maisano will relay tactical instructions before an October 17 league debut.

Overview

  • Talay confirmed Quispe is the only player in the squad who does not speak English.
  • The club will channel instructions through assistant coach John Maisano, who interprets in Spanish.
  • Other Spanish-speaking staff, including club chef George, are helping Quispe’s day-to-day integration.
  • Forward Víctor Campuzano will not serve as a translator so he can concentrate on his on-field role.
  • Quispe, who arrived after a brief stint at Pumas following Universitario, is expected to debut on October 17 at Adelaide United.
