15.01 – Marco Ottolini’s press conference begins.

“Before introducing the new coach, I want to thank coach Gilardino. They have been two successful and intense years. In football there are these situations. Now we are happy to present our new coach Patrick Vieira”.

The timing of Gilardino’s dismissal?
“When there is an exemption, many things are analysed. What may have surprised a little is the timing due to a bureaucratic process that we have to follow in these cases. Analyzing the situations, in the last three national breaks, we have had very few players between players called up and injuries. We put everything on the balance and managed to make Patrick’s arrival this week.”
