Massimo Oddo has shed light on his decision to leave AC Milan's youth team, Milan Futuro, after their Serie D play-off defeat. The mutual decision to part ways was made to allow Oddo to test himself at a higher level. He expressed happiness with his time at Milan Futuro, improving young players, and noted several will join the first team this year.

Oddo discussed his ambitions, stating he wants to coach at a high level consistently, ideally between Serie A and Serie B. He emphasized his desire to build a team from the start, rather than taking over mid-season. This approach would allow him to focus on development without the pressure of immediate results.

The former Milan player also touched on the rumored appointment of Sergio Navarro, a Spanish coach, to lead Milan Futuro. Oddo believes the key to success in this category is developing young players. He revealed he left Milan Futuro a year early, without requesting compensation, to seek new challenges.

Oddo's future plans are uncertain, with speculation suggesting he may explore opportunities abroad rather than taking a job in Italy.
