The club needed a change. We're not in the best shape. We had tried changing coaches several times and that didn't seem to work, so the only other option left was for me to leave.
I must repeat that my policy is to try to sign the best player in the world in every position where we do not already have that. Patrick Vieira is, in my opinion, the best in the world in his position,
I have spent some of the most intense and best years of my life as president of the club.
