Milan Head Quashes Recent Beef with Inter, Backs Coach

Milan president Paolo Scaroni let it be known that Milan continue to support Paulo Fonseca and addressed the skirmish with Inter. The Rossoneri are already 14 points below the top of the table and need to make up ground in the Champions League race too. He spoke to Corriere della Sera.

“The coach isn’t at risk, and we wish he won a lot. We must put in the effort to succeed and improve our position. We want to be closer to the Nerazzurri.”

Scaroni defended Milan owner Gerry Cardinale and toned down the clash with their crosstown rivals.

“As a sportsman and business, he was referring to their previous ownership, and not certainly to their front office. We compete and want to defeat each other on the pitch, like in the last Derby, and then sometimes we tease each other good-naturedly, but it’s evident that there’s esteem and loyal collaboration with Inter.” “There’s no way we disrespect them. We have been sharing a stadium and are teaming up to build a new own. This city is peculiar as the supporters can watch the Derby while mixing up in the stands without any problem.”

In addition to talking about Milan and the Nerazzurri, Scaroni weighed in on new Serie A president Ezio Simonelli, who beat the incumbent Lorenzo Casini, earning the 14 necessary votes thanks to the backing of the top teams. The new head is dealing with some controversy already due to his ties with the Berlusconi-owned companies.
