I’d also like to thank my colleagues for their votes, it’s an honour to receive this award in memory of a person who was a role model to so many.”
He then said the following in a press conference: “I’d like to thank Inter for making this all possible. The Club has always given a great amount of attention to the Academy over the years. This is my thirtieth year in Nerazzurri colours and it’s a great honour to do this job every day.”
