Pippo Inzaghi has urged Milan fans to be patient as he goes about trying to improve the club’s fortunes.
The Rossoneri finished eighth in Serie A last season, a campaign which also saw the sackings of both Max Allegri and Clarence Seedorf.
Speaking at a Press conference today, the new man in charge insisted his team will do all they can to win their fans back after previous disappointments.
“We came eighth, we need to be patient and I repeat that the Milan fans will be satisfied because we will give everything,” Inzaghi told reporters.
“The other teams are ahead of us, have consolidated and have new signings. We just need to work and for me to have discovered these boys gives me satisfaction.
“We will try to give everyone a hard time but I don’t know where we will finish. After one month of work I can confirm the team has heart. We will win the fans over.”
Inzaghi also remains convinced his team are on the right track to improving despite a worrying start to pre-season.
“I need to do well and bring back the spirit to the team. I assure you that a lot of the players have an attachment to the Rossoneri.
“If the team sees the staff, the club and Coaches working, the players will have to put everything into it too. If have seen all of that in these months. You can’t create a winning group in 20 days but we are on the right track.”
Finally, the former striker defended the club’s Japanese playmaker Keisuke Honda.
“The boy has always played and he is very underestimated. In my opinion he is very good and attentive.
“In the attacking midfield, mostly on the right, with his characteristics he can give us a real hand, particularly as a person.”
