Ignazio Abate has left AC Milan and their Primavera team after they concluded their season this weekend, and Jan-Carlo Simic has sent a message to the coach after their time working together thanking him for his coaching.
It has been a breakout season for Simic. Not only has he represented the senior team on a few occasions, including scoring on his debut, but he has also led the Primavera to their first UEFA Youth League final.
The defender seemingly has all the traits to make it far in the game, and he looks much more mature than his age might suggest he may be, which is a massive positive for the club. Given the progress with the Under 23 squad, there is little to no pressure on him to adapt to senior football immediately, which will only increase his chances of growing naturally.
With the news of Abate’s departure, Simic posted a story to his Instagram to offer his best wishes to the coach, and his words have been relayed by Milan News.
“Thank you for the last two years we spent together Mister! You gave me so much, and I am very grateful to have worked with you. Good luck for the future.”
