New AC Milan coach Cristian
Brocchi said Wednesday he was approaching his first top-level
coaching job with humility.
"I'll play my chance with the utmost determination and
humility, I'm not afraid but very calm," said the former Milan
midfielder, who replaced Sinisa Mihajlovic Tuesday.
He said "there is a risk, but you have to have the humility
to understand that if things were to go wrong you would have to
go back to paths that you've already trod".
Milan announced Tuesday that Mihajlovic had been sacked,
and Brocchi put in charge of the team until the end of the
season.
The seven-time European champions are sixth in Serie A
with 49 points after Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Juventus, who top
the table with 76 points.
Brocchi had been at the helm of the club's top academy
side.
Serb Mihajlovic, who was appointed by Milan in the closed
season after a impressive stint at Sampdoria, led the side the
final of his season's Italian Cup.
