“I felt good this season and it seemed right to continue,” he told Sky Sport Italia after Hellas’ 1-1 draw with Toro yesterday.
“I get along well with everyone here, even the kit men. That’s what pushed me to stay here.
“My concerns were about our budget for the transfer market, but I can say that we’ll fight to avoid the drop again next season.
“I don’t think I did anything particularly special. I did my work calmly and we’ll work to replace those who will leave, continuing to play the football we’ve played this season.”

“I signed the renewal after dinner, drinking a glass of bitter!”
