" the milan has always been for me, an affair of the heart and passion, my history, my father, and that of my children prove it and no one can erase our bond with the colors rossoneri. This very strong link me to be careful, precise and professional in accepting the job that was offered to me; of course, it would be much easier to follow the emotion of the proposal and to say yes, without thinking about the possible consequences and go head to head in This new adventure. But no, I can't, I have to respect the values that have accompanied me during my whole life, I have to respect the many fans who over the years identified in me for passion, determination and seriousness, I must respect the milan and myself.
I would like to clarify certain concepts and Milan fans to part of the press, which has collected and told of the news that they move the substance of the matter on the economic aspect, forgetting the importance that I and my family, we gave to the sense of belonging to the Milan: the salary It's always been a consequence of the agreement, never the cause. These news, among other things, they have been suggested by "Anonymous sources" through channels and people I've known for 30 years, which aim to discredit my person to justify the lack of agreement. I wasn't sure I break our confidentiality agreement.
I don't have advanced economic demands, I have said from the first meeting that the definition of the role was the key of a possible collaboration. How can I quantify a proposal when I am not established with clarity the responsibilities? I made it clear that I would have given my all for a serious project that I had seen in an important role, which I never agreed to be used as "the simple flag". I repeat: the Milan for me it is a choice of heart .
I never asked for a role "in the galliani", i.e. of CEO with full powers. I know what are the my virtues, but I know even better my limits; the area of my expertise should be that of sports.
I was offered the role of technical director, before me was hired a sporting director of confidence of the CEO, so, according to the corporate organizational chart that I have been presented, I should have to share any project, purchase or sale of footballer with the My Parigrado DS. My precise question on what would have happened in the event of disagreement, I was told by Mr. Fassone that would have chosen him. That said, I don't think there were the foundations for a winning team. I did part of teams that have made the history of football and I know that to get to those results, there must be a great synergy between all the components, corporate investment important roles and well defined. The latest seasons of AC Milan with double the CEO and overlapping roles should be teaching. Of course I would have had to take, in the eyes of the fans, the press and of the property, all the responsibility of the sports section, with the possibility of being excluded from any executive power.
I never asked to have a direct contact with the property to bypass the CEO; I expressed the desire to hear from Mr. David Han Li, Executive Director of the until Europe Sports, that I've only met for a few minutes, what they expected from me; I wanted to hear from his voice what objectives they have set for ourselves and what investments they intend to do. I think this is a serious request that every professional has right to the right employer, especially when you have behind a past like mine with the club, made of belonging and credibility.
I hope with these few lines to have clarified my position. Remains the bitterness of these days for a dream that is gone and they stay the controversy instrumentals that I don't have that pleasure.
I defend the right of the people in charge of society as important as the milan can choose their employees on the basis of the criteria for their most suitable, I, too, I would do the same thing in their position, but let me also repeat that my values and my independence Of thought will be for me always more important than any use ".
