This season's winner of the Italian Cup, Milano club, strengthens its squad and announced the acquisition of AS team defender Olivier Dacourt, who was defeated in the final.
The player's contract with the Rome club ended after this season, and the 31-year-old Frenchman decided to leave the capital team and move to Milan. As announced, the player signed a two-year contract with the team, with the possibility of extending it for another year.
In addition to "Inter", Dacourt was also interested in clubs like England's "Bolton", but the player decided not to change his environment too much and stay in Italy.
"I signed a two-year contract with "Inter" with the option to stay here for another season," said Dacourt. "Inter" is a fantastic club, and after spending four years in Rome, I wanted to change the team, so I accepted the offer from the Milan team."
The guard, who represented the French national team for the 21st time, admitted that he is disappointed that the coach of the national team did not include him in the squad for the World Cup, which will start in less than a month in Germany.
"I am very disappointed that I was not called up to the national team for the World Cup," the player said. "In my opinion, Philippe Mexes (Roma defender) and I should have been part of the national team."
"What surprised me the most was that Domenech did not invite Mexes to the team. I saw his disappointment with the coach's decision and sincerely sympathize with him, as in my opinion Philippe is currently one of the best defenders in the entire Serie A."
