In an emotional press conference, Álvaro Cervera appeared with a brief speech of thanks before answering questions from the press: "The day I arrived, I never expected to find a different way of living, thinking and feeling. I want to thank all those who did their bit to bring the team to where it is today."
Coaching staff: "I want to thank Roberto Parera for everything he has done for me, on a professional level but above all on a personal level. I want to remember all the coaching staff who have been by my side every day, all the doctors, physios, Salvi's family who looked after us so much. Thank you very much to everyone for everything."
Acknowledgements: "I want to remember Juan Carlos Cordero, the first sporting director I had here. Regardless of a bad or good result, he always trusted in all of us. I also want to thank those players who from the beginning never negotiated anything and brought the team to where it is today, with special mention to Salvi, Garrido and José Mari."
Antonio Navarrete: "I want to thank Antonio Navarrete, who left recently, and I remember him a lot. He was like a father to us. He was always by my side supporting me."
Second year in the elite: "I knew that the second year was going to be very complicated, especially after a year of many successes. I wanted to thank everyone who did their bit to get the team to where it is today."
Love for the colours: "I have played for many teams and trained in many others, but Cádiz will always be my team and I will come here because I will keep coming back for this city. I have a very strong feeling for it and I leave great friends here. There is a motto, there are many things that stay here for the people. I am eternally grateful, sportingly and personally, and amazed by the affection shown."
Link with Cádiz: "With your permission, one more gaditano is leaving. After six years I have changed. But it's a change for the better. These colours have made me see life differently. Now, my family is waiting for me. My two children are looking forward to hugging their father. It will not be a day of reproaches, but of thanks. I will be eternally grateful to the fans. I only ask the people to put all the support they have for me into the team because they need it."
Final message: "Thank you Cadiz for everything you've given me. Long live the Cadistas. You are wonderful people. Always yours, Álvaro Cervera."
