According to the club’s official website, Dino has thanked everyone who was involved in ensuring the deal was a success. He said:
"First of all, I would like to thank those who contributed to the transfer. I want to leave a mark in this historical and strong-supported club. That's why I came. I'm definitely not here to rest, I'm here to succeed.
"Our transfers will continue and I believe we will be successful. I am distinguished by my speed and playing ability. I am overcoming my shortcomings with the advice of my teachers. I was trying to play backwards, but I also started to evaluate the gaps behind the defence.
"Of course, rather than talking about [my skills], I will show you myself in the best way on the field. You certainly did not make the wrong transfer. Serious contract offers came, especially from China. When I got an offer from Kocaelispor, I researched the club and especially fell in love with the fans. These were factors in my coming to Kocaelispor.
"I know Turkish football. There is a clever and challenging league here. I believe that when I come to my senses physically, I will be able to show my best to the Kocaelispor fans."
