It's a new start for Milan, again. After the appointment of Gazidis, Maldini, Boban and Massara to lead the front office, they have now introduced new manager Marco Giampaolo. The former Sampdoria manager had this to say about joining the rossoneri: "I am very happy to be here at Milan, a glorious club. It is definitely a great opportunity, I think that across hard work and sacrifice I deserve to have this chance. The negotiations? I was on a boat and ready to leave. Maldini told me to arrive, my friends left for Croatia and I went to Milan. Five years ago, to restart I went to Serie C, accepting a challenge that could define me as a manager. I wanted to return to A starting from the bottom, five years later that call from Milan made me happy."
"The great teams must have an identity, there are a lot of objectives and the road is long, I have many things in mind but we must be recognizable. Conte's motto to keep your head down and pedal? Our motto will be to keep your head up and play football. I like reliable players who want to write important pages. I want a team that plays football. Last year. I already thought Milan had quality. The team is very young, they will have to be given the right ambitions. The mentality to win is part of the DNA of this club. To play or to coach Milan doesn't happen everyday. System of play? Tomorrow is the first day for me, I must still enter the insides of Milan and understand the dynamics. We will play with four at the back, the rest we'll see. Suso? We are talking of a player of quality and these types of players are pleasing to me. We'll need to find the best position for him."
