“It was an almost fortuitous choice. Roberto was in Rome with Zenit, in the same hotel as me. Over coffee, we started talking and I immediately understood that he would be the ideal coach, who would give us a game and an international dimension,” Costacurta said. in Tuttosport.

“That he will pull us out of the dark, even if I don’t think he will be successful at this point.”

Roberto is a brave man who embodies many values. It’s enough to see this Italian team become champions without star players,” he added.
