“Where do I start from?” Corvino told the Press “From the last two games when I was here? I left because of a difficult family situation and I watched the Viola's developments from far away.

“Or I could start from the banner that welcomed me when I came back to the Stadio Della Valle, when I came as an opponent, or from the phone call when I was asked to return.

“We have a Coach who is an extra value for the club. In one year you saw the important things he brought to Italy. I found an immediate understanding with his style.

“Also there is a group of footballers of a very high level. The youth team, as I see it, was cultivated with quality according to my guidelines.

“We have a fan-base that is symbiotic with the city, that fills us with energy.

“I may have made some mistakes in the past, and others with me, but we must all start again as there are new challenges ahead.

“If you return after seven years that's because you left a great memory, so you have everything to lose. But I need that adrenaline, so it's time for us to start together again and reach some objectives that have been missing.

“We're up against clubs that have a better structure, but if we work together with the Coach, on and off the pitch, and with the support of the fans, we can achieve what we've been looking for.”
