After Dauda and Milos Sarcev said goodbye to each other, a long journey of 2.5 years with 13 shows together came to an end. Even while announcing the split Sarcev was positive about what Dauda had to bring to the post. “As the whole World knows – with improved conditioning (that we failed to bring) he would be extremely hard to beat. Wishing Samson (and Marlena) all the best in the World and most importantly for Samson – fulfillment of his destiny,” Milos Sarcev wrote.
