“It was a special night,” Denis told Sky Sport Italia, stopping occasionally to fight through the tears.
“This is just an arrivederci. I know that I’ll be back. I thank the club, my teammates, the fans and the entire city of Bergamo.
“I am grateful to all of them and will never forget this support, this shirt, which I will always have tattooed on my skin.
“I also thank those behind the scenes who help the club run, like the kit staff and physiotherapists, as they are just as important.
“I don’t want to forget anyone and there are so many moments I will remember forever. The first is the comeback against Inter at San Siro, from 3-1 to 4-3.
“I want to enjoy these final moments in the stadium. It is the right time though for me and my family to return home. I leave Bergamo only so I can go back home.”
