“The president they challenged him all year but, I have to tell you, he is a great manager, even in the downturn, when many of his prompters were telling him to change coaches, he said go ahead we would win the play-offs. Thanks must also be given to Foggia, a boy who grew up without his father. We played for promotion also thanks to him. A thank you to the advisers who were going to the president to unseat me because I am a d….o head and I don…t know how to manage a group. It is a victory against these types of people who represent the nastiness and evil of football” his words to RAI microphones.
