Ben, how would you introduce yourself to Sparta fans?
My name is Ben Ashworth, I'm a physiotherapist and I've been in sports for the past 20 years. I have also worked with rugby players or Olympians. I come from London.
And the most important thing - you have great football experience…
Yes, I've been in Arsenal for six years. I started with the first team in 2012 and left the club in May 2018 at the same time as Arséne Wenger did. It was a great six years, we gradually improved both outside and on the pitch. We were almost like a family.
Have you known Sparta before you joined the club?
I know Sparta, the history of this club in European football is incredible. Of course, I know her also thanks to Thomas. I've also learned a lot since I took this job. Sparta has a truly great tradition. It's a pleasure to be here.
