Tarantino’s first words
“There is so much joy: when you join a big club like Inter you can’t help but be happy. I am excited and curious. For me it’s a second chance at the Nerazzurri: I grew up listening to Inter matches on the radio and as a player I wasn’t able to fully experience the experience. I hadn’t been able to touch that dream with my own hands, as a footballer, now a new opportunity presents itself to me. I feel the responsibility of training players but above all men: Inter has always done it, I will try to do it in the best possible way. The objectives are to train, create technical, human and economic value. Above all, I want to reward the club with my work.”
