Roberto De Zerbi knows beating Milan at San Siro “will remain in the history of Benevento. We were the joke of Italy.”

Le Streghe are still virtually relegated, but staved off the drop for another week with this shock 1-0 result, especially as it was earned despite Cheick Diabate’s red card.

“Winning at San Siro might not help us climb the table, but it will remain in my history and the history of Benevento,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia and Mediaset Premium.

Le Streghe are still virtually relegated, but staved off the drop for another week with this shock 1-0 result, especially as it was earned despite Cheick Diabate’s red card.

“Winning at San Siro might not help us climb the table, but it will remain in my history and the history of Benevento,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia and Mediaset Premium.

“It’s a wonderful evening, for all we suffered through this season, and I’ll never forget it. There are so many reasons why we failed to pick up points earlier, from banal errors to the fact we brought in so many important players in January.

“I have a wonderful rapport with President Oreste Vigorito, he’s the kind of person you so rarely find in football. We haven’t talked about the future yet.

“Benevento were the joke of Italy and he felt the pain of that.”

De Zerbi was hired to replace Coach Marco Baroni in late October, but they didn’t earn their first point in Serie A until the 2-2 draw with Milan on December 3.

“I will always regret not being able to work with this team from the start of the season.”
