The forward felt that the former San Siro favourite
deserved better for giving his all for the club but
he also expressed his admiration for Sinisa
Mihajlovic
AC Milan attacker Stephan El Shaarawy has
admitted that he was sorry to see Filippo Inzaghi
sacked as coach.
Inzaghi only took charge of the San Siro side last
summer but was fired at the end of disappointing
2014-15 campaign which saw the Rossoneri fail to
qualify for Europe after finishing 10th in the Serie A
standings.
Sinisa Mihajlovic, who stepped down as Sampdoria
coach on June 1, is now expected to fill the void
and while El Shaarawy has the utmost respect for
the Serb, he remains disappointed by Inzaghi's
dismissal.
"I think that he gave all of himself for the Milan
shirt, so I'm very sorry to see him sacked because
I know very well the passion that he put into the
job," the 22-year-old striker told reporters on
Wednesday.
"Mihajlovic? He's a great coach who has done very
well but it's not yet official so I can say no more."
However, El Shaarawy did admit that he hopes no
matter who is charge next season is given plenty
to spend in the transfer market.
Indeed, there is speculation that Milan owner Silvio
Berlusconi is willing to splash up to €150 million
on new players this summer and the Rossoneri
have made former striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic one of
their primary targets.
El Shaarawy was reluctant to be drawn on the
Swede's possible return to the Giuseppe Meazza
but he was more than happy to reiterate his
commitment to the club.
"For now they are only rumours, but regardless of
Ibra, I hope that Milan can have a big transfer
market and can again be competitive, both in Italy
and in Europe," the Italy international added.
"I have a contract with Milan. I hope to stay and
return to being great with Milan."
