A new face in his position, and Samuel Giménez suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Keflavik have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Keflavik have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.
