"At the start of my career I was involved in those Leagues and I know how hard they are to win," he told a Press conference. "Venezia had a complicated group.

"He has been excellent but also humble, something he never lacked as a player.

"This humility was what made him accept a project in the Lega Pro, after 25 years in Serie A and so many trophies won.

"He has deservedly won the Lega Pro, now he has started well as a Coach and I hope he can be even happier with what he does.

"He deserves to have this joy as a Coach."
