Torino boss Sinisa Mihajlovic has revealed that the club 'have great ambitions' and the team are not 'just about history'.

After being sacked by Milan last season, the Serbian confesses that the Granata are 'a better match' for him, after an unexpected flying start has taken his side to seventh in the standings.

"After the experience at Milan was looking for something that was better matched with my personality," the Coach told Corriere della Sera. "The history of Torino is unrepeatable, it draws strength from its roots.

"It is a story of soul, heart, sweat, pride and blood, which is just how I like it. But it's not just this. This is a club that is growing, everyone knows what to do and has great ambitions.

"I doubt that many of you were expecting this good start. We have changed Coach, formation, and have signed new players.

"I have tried to convey my mentality, the way I see football. At first I got angry but the boys told me that it was not easy to do the opposite after five years of [Giampiero] Ventura .

"But I always saw commitment, application and desire, then if you're lucky enough to get results, it increases self-belief.

"We are still working on the foundations: the principles of the game and moral principles.

"At Toro the attitude must always be that you play to win, with ferocity.

"This was only lacking against Inter, once you can make a mistake, but twice is already too many.

"It mustn’t become normal to lose at San Siro or draw at home against Lazio, if this happens we have to be angry, not to say ‘oh well, they are stronger’.

"I did not come here to win a game every now and then."
