Paulo Sergio: cup triumph was probably my biggest career achievement

Hearts manager Paulo Sergio has said that winning the Scottish Cup is one of the highlights of his career.

Sergio masterminded the Tynecastle side’s 5-1 victory over rivals Hibernian at Hampden but said he does not know if he will be in charge when they defend the trophy next year.

"It is not a moment to be speaking about my future," he said.

"I don't know if it my last game, I will see.

"It is not winning the cup or not winning the cup that can make me stay or not, there are a lot of things to talk about.

"The important thing is Hearts.”

The manager, who has coached at six Portuguese clubs including Sporting Lisbon, said he felt the success had been among the greatest in his career.

"It is probably my biggest achievement as manager,” he said.

"I was champion in the first season as coach and we got promoted.

"I lost the final of the Portuguese Cup against Porto and I have won a final as a player and won some promotions, good moments but this is different.

"I am working outside my country which makes things harder in the beginning so that leaves a fantastic flavour.

"It was a great result, a great game by the team so I am very proud and happy.

"It was great to see the joy of all our supporters who came to Hampden and my family were in the stands.

"It was a great moment."
