00:00 The night started early because we've been waiting for this moment for two or three days.
00:11 We've been waiting for two or three days of greetings, hugs and thanks.
00:17 We've been grateful to the club, to the owners, to everyone who has worked with us.
00:27 Above all, I'd like to thank the players, who have been fantastic.
00:35 They've shown consistency, cohesion and confidence in the difficult moments.
00:42 It's not easy to find that in the job.
00:47 What I've experienced here in Milan with the fans will remain special and special in my heart.
00:59 These have been special days.
01:02 It's been a bit strange to experience the game.
01:07 I'm a bit down now, but I think it's only fair.
01:15 I've said it many times, but I left San Siro with a heart full of joy, gratification, enthusiasm and energy for what the fans have given me.
01:26 I think I started training 25 years ago.
01:30 Of course, I dreamt of something exceptional, but not of living the intense feelings I've had here.
01:40 I can only be happy and thank everyone for the great journey we've had.
01:48 We're moving forward.
01:50 I think pride goes beyond the results.
01:52 Pride is what I've experienced here in Milan, what we've experienced together with the players,
01:59 what I've shared with the club and the managers I've had,
02:03 what they've done for me here in Milan and what they've done for me later on.
02:10 I hope, and I wish, that I can experience these feelings again in the future, but I don't think it will be easy.
02:22 You leave here a man who has a lot of experience,
02:25 and it's important to train in such a glorious club like Milan.
02:30 It means you have to deal with top-level professionals,
02:34 both the managers and the players,
02:39 and with high expectations.
02:43 It's even more important to be a Pioli.
02:48 I think I'm at my best in my career,
02:51 for all the experiences I've had here.
02:55 I can only thank Milan for that.
03:00 I'm proud of what we've done together and I'm happy.
03:06 Nisba is a very sensitive boy.
03:09 He started crying two days ago, so it's been a tough two days.
03:15 I've had the same experiences with all the lads,
03:21 but I had no doubt about it, both on their part and on my own.
03:27 I'm proud of the relationship we've built.
03:33 There have been difficult times, there have been arguments,
03:37 there have been fierce confrontations,
03:39 but always with great respect and with the only goal of the Milan club.
03:43 It's a beautiful thing.
03:47 These are things that will stay with you,
03:52 as is the way to go about the curve.
03:59 I have a few words of thanks to the coach.
04:02 I started 21 years ago, a little more in Salerno.
04:05 The last day, I knew I was going to leave,
04:09 and the fans in Sertana said,
04:13 "Coach, you've trained with honour, you're a gentleman."
04:16 These are the best compliments a coach can give.
04:21 Thank you all.
