AC Milan coach Rino Gattuso on new deal: My temper is now WORSE

AC Milan coach Rino Gattuso is delighted with his new contract.

Gattuso penned terms to 2021 last week.

"I am hungrier than I was before and have a worse temper," he revealed. “In football all you need is three defeats and I'll find myself outside the gates of Milanello with a suitcase in my hand. I feel more pressure, because this is the club I work for and I am aware we can do so much better.

"I read in the papers of all these new players I supposedly requested, but I can tell you now not to expect a revolution. We have a good squad to build on and must respect those who have done well this season.

"I like to play attacking football with good organisation. My characteristics as a player are different from how I want to see football played as a Coach. What I would like is for my players to smell danger better, because some of them really have to improve in that.

"I don't think I needed a contract renewal to have a good rapport with the players. I don't know if some of them are stabbing me in the back or what, but we seem to have a rapport of mutual respect. In order to be a good Coach, you have to be consistent and not take anyone for a ride."
