(GSM) – Milan new loan signing Mancini is looking forward to revive his career with the Rossoneri following his six-month loan deal from rivals Internazionale.

The 29-year-old Brazilian was not getting first-team football under Jose Mourinho and was desperate for a move.

Mancini had been expected join Marseille before the Ligue 1 side pulled the plug on the deal, but the player is delighted to be given a fresh chance under Milan boss Leonardo.

“I have thrown away six months,” he said. “I was close to leaving Inter last summer but Mourinho told me that he believed in me. Patience… now we turn the page.

“Mourinho is good but I am now with Leonardo, someone who understands football. I would gladly cancel the past year but now the time has come to turn the page. A new adventure begins for me.”

Mancini, who enjoyed a successful spell in Serie A with Roma, made just seven appearances for the Nerazzurri this season and believes he is better suited to Milan’s style of game.

Mancini said: “Inter are a very strong squad but Milan are at the same level with different characteristics.”

He will have a reason to shine as he could make his stay permanent in the summer and he said: “I am desperate to show my worth, to win and to find the calmness that I lost a year ago. I will do the possible and impossible to return to play at my highest level.”
