Milan, May 15 (LaPresse) – “There’s the joy of having gifted a trophy to the city of Bologna and to the fans. Then we also gifted it to ourselves — the president and the boys. I think we deserved it with a great match,” said Bologna’s technical director Giovanni Sartori to Sky Sport, commenting on the historic Coppa Italia victory in the final against Milan.
A success that came despite the coaching change last summer and the departure of several key players.
“We had some difficulties at the beginning because Italiano’s tactics and principles were different from Thiago Motta’s. It took the team a bit of time to absorb them, but then we took off and had a great season. And there are still two games left to finish well,” he added.
