Roberto Mancini, Zenit’s coach and a target of the Rosssoneri for next season, spoke about AC Milan in an interview for La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“With Fassone I worked very well at Inter. In fact, I think that the biggest mistake of the Inter at the time was to fire a competent and good person like Fassone. The first year we had done very well, we had finished fourth something that today would mean Champions League qualification. Generally, the winning team does not change. It did not go that way.
Mirabelli? It’s one thing being a scout and entire thing being a sports director in a big club like AC Milan. Massimo needs to gain experience and learn, but he can spot the players and will do well at Milan. Too many purchases in the summer? I say that Milan has signed good players. To make a jump in quality 2-3 big players are required. But it is not easy to convince them to come to Italy and especially if they cost in today’s market like Coutinho? If Fassone and Mirbaelli call me at Milan I would have no problems, I work well with everyone and I have no problems with colors”
