He didn’t want to renew and the contracts end. Last year he asked me to take Ilic. I told him ‘I’m making this investment because you ask me to, he’s a very strong player, but I want you to stay with us’. He said ‘but yes’ he took his time and wanted to keep the doors open. Contracts end at a certain point…”, Cairo’s thought which in fact anticipates the farewell of the Croatian coach.

We only sold Singo who was expiring, then we kept everyone and brought in strong players like Zapata and Bellanova and we will have to start again from these players: the hard core is there, we will strengthen ourselves where needed.”
Then the final comment in view of the future: “Now let’s think about the last three days, maybe surprises and the list for Europe will emerge. Vagnati will take care of the transfer market and will renew his contract (expiring in 2025, ed.)”.
