Despite having reached the Coppa Italia final and lost it due to minor details, Italian manager Cristian Brocchi decided to call it quits with the club of his life. He well could've stayed as the main manager but instead looked as his defeat in that final as a failure and decided to leave the post to whoever can take on the challenge. Now that manager Vincenzo Montella has decided to take the job and Brocchi could not be more excited for him, he revealed why he left the club at a press conference.
Brocchi said: "I have a very particular personality and am a very humble person. As a player, I achieved great things by starting from the bottom. I found myself in an important family like Milan, a wonderful adventure in the youth academy and had the good fortune to become coach of the senior squad. It is fundamental for me to feel supported, so people have confidence in me.
"We did not have the right conditions to continue, so my decision to walk away was right for the good of the club and the good of [president Silvio] Berlusconi. I would not have worked with the right sense of calm. I wanted to show what I can do without prejudice. I am very happy to have become the coach of Brescia, a club that is very important in my life. I want to bring my ideas to the locker room with the hope of finding the right synchronicity and achieving success."
