COPENHAGEN – Slovak football defender Denis Vavro has returned to FC Copenhagen. The Danish premier league has agreed with Lazio Rome to host the 25-year-old Slovak national team until the end of this season with an option for a permanent transfer. Vavro worked in Copenhagen from 2017 to 2019, when he left for Lazio.
He longed to return
In the meantime, he was a guest in Huesca, Spain, and after returning to Rome in the summer of 2021, he did not play in the team. He will wear the number three jersey in Copenhagen. “Everyone who has watched the Danish Super League knows Denis’s qualities. He is a combat, strong, fast and uncompromising defender with solid technical skills. Denis has shown a great desire to return to FCK, we are happy.” FC sports director Peter Christiansen told the club’s website.
“Copenhagen means a lot to me. I’ve had a good time here and I’m looking forward to playing Parken again. I’ve stayed in touch with several former teammates and coaches. I’ve only come for one goal to become champions in the summer. I’m ready to give away 100 percent to make it happen,Vavro said, adding: “I’m happy, Copenhagen is my home. When my agent told me the club wanted me, I just said” OK, I’m going home. “
“We have a strong defense, we didn’t get a lot of goals in the league and in the European Cups. But we want to have it even better.” the head coach of the Danish club Jess Thorup said.
The former player of Žilina came to Copenhagen in August 2017, making his debut against FC Midtjylland on September 10. Together for Copenhagen, he played 85 matches, in which he scored three goals. One in the league and two in the European League. He started for Lazio in 21 matches without a goal scored. “We need competition in the team and it will definitely be a strength. He’s strong in one-on-one, good in head and has a winning mentality.” Thorup added a 12-time Slovak national team. Vavro, who was eliminated by the coronavirus at EURO 2020, last played for Slovakia in the international match last summer against Bulgaria.
