AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli is excited about the new season ahead.
Pioli will again take Milan into the Champions League for the new season.
He said: "They have been intense years for everything we have lived through and will live through. A new season starts with the same enthusiasm and desire to always do something new. It was a particular season last year, one of change, now we have to start working again with the passion, ideas and quality of my players.
"I heard from (Gerry) Cardinale this morning and he wished us all the best of luck: on the one hand he encouraged us and on the other stimulated us to make it an important season. We appreciate his closeness."
On the market, he added: "I certainly have something in mind: season after season, analyse the work done. I think it will be a long summer even if we are not in favour of such a long transfer market for us coaches. However, a lot will depend on the characteristics of who will arrive: the characteristics of the players assembled but we already have ideas and a consolidated team base."
