Mario Gila: Inter Approached, but AC Milan Was the Choice
Mario Gila was also approached by Inter Milan but ultimately chose AC Milan. He explained his reasoning at the Trento Sports Festival: "There were several teams, I chose Milan because it's a club that, when it calls you, with such an important history, it's hard to say no. Other clubs might be in a more satisfying moment, but helping Milan win again is something you can't find elsewhere."
"I'm very happy to be with this club. We've had a significant transfer window financially, bringing in important players for the project. I try to help the team at all times and give what I have on the field. Bringing in these players to help Milan rise again is a good start. Not to the absolute peak of its history, but to begin growing and satisfying the fans."
Regarding coach Amorim, Gila said: "He's a coach who transmits grit, he's aggressive, tough. He's modern, suited for European football. We're at the beginning of the project, it takes time, but results will come."
"For me, the current level is where we are, in the Europa League. Last year we didn't manage to reach the Champions League, even though we were in contention all year. For one reason or another, we didn't get in, and in the end, the level is Europa League, due to external factors or not. Now we have to work. The main goal is to enter the Champions League and try to compete for the Scudetto. We are Milan, and we must think ambitiously. Last year we had a beautiful season but didn't reach the Champions League: so we are a Europa League team, but with Champions League and Scudetto ambitions."
