“Deciding to leave the Milan bench isn’t easy, but it’s a decision I had to make,” he told La Repubblica.
“There wasn’t a precise moment when I came to this decision: it was the sum of these 18 months as Coach of a team who, for me, will never be like the others.
“They’re months that I lived through with great passion, unforgettable months. It’s a painful choice but a considered one.
“I gave up the final two years on my contract because my story with Milan could never be about money.”
The former Rossoneri midfielder succeeded Vincenzo Montella at the helm in November 2017 and won 40, drew 22 and lost 20 of his 82 games at San Siro.
