And the same thing è happened the next year and è what we need now, hoping to start with Valencia" began the head coach of the meneghini.

I have often been lucky enough to be in such situations, all the more so with Mr. Armani and Mr. Dell'Orco, people who look at the whole and not just the result. It's difficult for those who lead an important club to be able to maintain an overall vision, I was lucky to have found Giorgio Armani who moreover had gestures of affection towards me that gave me the strength to commit even more in my work" added the head coach of the Red Shoes.
