Italiano: ‘Vlahovic incredible, he still has so much to give, Miretti surprised me’

Besiktas head coach Vincenzo Italiano praised recent signings Dusan Vlahovic and Fabio Miretti in an interview with Corriere dello Sport published on Thursday. Vlahovic scored five goals in his first four appearances after transferring from Juventus earlier this summer. Italiano also expressed satisfaction with Miretti's impact after the midfielder was shut out at Juventus.

Italiano revealed he initially intended to remain in Italy, where his ultimate ambition is to win a Scudetto before retirement. However, after discussions with Benfica opened his mind to moving abroad, he accepted the project at Besiktas, where he has won four of his opening six league matches.
