CIAO TINO!

One is never prepared to say goodbye to someone who has been part of our lives, even if only by touching them with the tips of our fingers or like a breath of wind. Costantino, known to all as Tino, Borneo left us this morning, quietly yet leaving a resonating echo in the minds of many Rossoneri. The Rossoneri was a second skin for him, first as a youth team player, then with his first-team debut in the Coppa Italia match against Lecce where, in his only official appearance, he also scored.

He played for many teams and met the gaze of countless people before returning to his home to dedicate himself to the footballers of the future. With his technical expertise, his experience, and his humour, he was able to create a special bond among his staff colleagues and especially with the young champions, those who, from today, will carry on his sporting and human legacy. This season, Tino was in charge of AC Milan's Under 12 team, but many other boys have been under his tutelage and will have the task of passing on his legacy. Today is a day of tears and pain. Tears and pain that we must transform into the emotions and passion of being together on the football pitch, the emotions that characterised Tino.
