"Leaving was an incredibly painful decision, because Inter are at the very top from a professional standpoint." After his departure last month from Suning, Walter Sabatini is back to tell his side of the story. The director spoke to Sky Sport, and explained his motives: "I didn't think I was able to help the club in some areas which needed work that's different than I could have been able to produce. I thought I would not be able to provide what the fans wanted. I'd rather thank Suning, not allow any assumptions. I would not have been able to create my brand of football here nor changed things while keeping trust, the procedures and the ways of handing the club did not work with my ways of operating. I apologize to Inter's fans for that. Spalletti? He is an important coach, he lives football like an art form, with incredible suffering. His football has a little bit of madness, but that is key to the game. Roma? It still feels like mine, but they have bought 11 new players since my time. Champions League? I follow them with great admiration and with the awareness that they could come out with a legendary result."
