Vincenzo Italiano bitter: “I didn’t imagine it would end like this.”

Vincenzo Italiano’s words after the defeat against West Ham

It is a visibly bitter Vincenzo Italiano who appears at TV8’s microphones after the Conference League final defeat against West Ham, which came in the final thanks to a goal by Bowen. “We lost two finals played really well, it’s a shame,” he admitted. “Tonight’s one I didn’t imagine it would end like that. We played and equalized right after a penalty that could have killed us. Mandragora had a goal ball. The extra time could have given us some advantage. I think of the boys I saw them destroyed, it’s not a good thing to lose two finals.”

“We fielded the eleven that gave us balance, in the end a match played with few risks, the way a final should be played. A dubious penalty and a very avoidable goal punished us,” added the Viola coach.

“If I stay? The president was clear about that, we needed to finish the finals. As has happened to many coaches we will meet and talk about the future, there is nothing more to add. We will finish the season we will sit down and talk about everything,” he closed on the future.
