“The victory over Sampdoria allowed us to qualify for the Europa League, although we had intended to fight for the Scudetto.

“Now we have to recharge our batteries and it's going to be exciting with the new owners. We need players, directors and owners with the right mentality to be competitive.”

The Sensi family has sold the club to American investors, led by Thomas Di Benedetto, who will take over next month.
