“I did wonder why now, but couldn't find an answer and then decided it was best not to ask questions,” he told Tuttosport.

“I had thought a big offer would come along when I won the Serie C2 tournament with Pergocrema in 2008, but instead found myself back in the same division with Varese.

“Maybe it's best to focus only on what happens on the field. Thanks to a group of lads who gave their all, my chance arrived too.”

Varese were knocked out of the Serie B promotion play-offs this season.
