Montella speaks out after AC Milan sacking
- Jordan Russell (@JordRuss96)
Prior to this brief encounter, he was also interviewed by Sky Sport and once again appeared to be quite accepting of his fate: “I’m sorry because my team was following me, was growing but football is what it is: we have to accept it. Small margins often decide important games. I accept the club’s decision. I was close to Mirabelli and Fassone, but I also think about the staff at Milanello who I did not have the chance to say a proper goodbye to.
“I am proud to have coached a team that I will always carry in my heart and whom I supported as a child. I have some personal satisfaction as we won a trophy and brought Milan back to Europe. There are positives to be taken. I really wish the players the best because they deserve it. It’s a really good group, and I wish the best of luck to Rino, who is a friendly, loyal and trustworthy man.”
