AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has admitted he is confused and disappointed with the signing of Amantino Mancini.
The Brazilian arrived from city rivals Inter yesterday on the final day of the transfer window but it is a move that has left the club president a little confused.
“The acquisition of Mancini? I do not understand it,” he told members of the press during a trip to Jerusalem.
Berlusconi has taken a back seat at AC Milan in recent years, entrusting vice-president Adriano Galliani with the day-to-day running of the club.
Galliani had described Mancini as an “excellent signing", however his boss doesn’t agree and he told him as much.
“It's another playmaker and we need somebody who can finish and win the game. I disagree with the purchase and that's what I told Galliani," he concluded.
