“I’m happy and excited, I’m aware that hard work is waiting for me but I’m used to carrying out such an arduous task,” the Chievo legend, whose last managerial job came with the Flying Donkeys three years ago, said upon landing in Sicily.
“I gladly accepted President Zamparini’s invitation for me to return to Palermo, but I still haven’t met him.
“With desire, commitment and strength, but above all togetherness, I’m convinced that we can stay up.”
