Rome, 13 June (LaPresse) – ‘As of yesterday, I am part of Torino’s past, and with these words I would like to thank everyone at Torino. First and foremost, the club, which gave me the chance to prove my worth by putting me in charge of one of the most prestigious and historic teams in the world.’ Roberto D’Aversa, who took over from Marco Baroni as Torino manager during the season, wrote this on Instagram in a post in which he officially bids farewell to the Granata club. “I thank the staff and the team, who always put their heart and soul into every training session and who wore the Granata shirt with their heads held high wherever they went. They will always be my lads,‘ he continued. ’Finally, to the Torino fans, I want to say I love you for your affection and friendship; I thank you for passing on to me the Granata spirit and the values of Superga. Thank you for the hundreds of messages. I would have liked to reply to each one of you. My journey ends here; I would have preferred to experience these days differently, but that’s football. I will carry with me the pride of having achieved the goal, the certainty of having helped to enhance the value and quality of the squad, and above all the pride of having done every day what I try to teach my three children in life: set a goal, choose your own path, and don’t let anything or anyone stand in your way. Forza Toro, always.”
