“Now I will go through the course to get certified as a director of sport so I can work for the club.

“I am in good shape, but I’ve been in Serie A for 13 years. I started out with Atalanta, so it feels right to finish here too and even better if I can get us into Europe.

“The club proposed this role as a director and that helped push me to this decision.”
