The Aeroplanino was presented to the Press in today's Press conference, kicking off his Rossoneri tenure in a climate of great expectations.
“Ever since I started working as a Coach I always thought about improving myself,” he told the Press. “My dreams as a child aren't the same as the ones I have as an adult. I always thought about nothing but working.
“I'm extremely happy about being here. I perceive great responsibility and energy. I am enthusiastic and focused on work.
“It's unacceptable that Milan should have been out of the European cups for three years. Our objective is to return there.”
Montella was also introduced to president Silvio Berlusconi, who is now back in action after stopping for heart surgery.
“Meeting him was a great emotion. He changed Italian football. I thought he looked to be in a good condition, he has great charisma so it was a good evening.
“Milan have to play well. We have to lead by our style of play. That's what made Milan great over the years. We must promote an idea which both Milan and I believe in. To do that, we need the right players and of course I'll be giving some suggestions on the market.
“However, it's not true that I called [Fiorentina's] Borja Valero. That's just gossip. If the incoming players already know the way I work and my style of play, then all for the better, but it just matters that they fit my project.
“I speak with the club constantly. Now I must evaluate the players I already have, find out what kind of hunger and drive they possess. Then I'll see how well they fit into my plan.”
