Roberto De Zerbi thanked the players, staff, and fans for their support during his tenure, expressing pride in the milestones attained by the team over the past two seasons.

Several other staff members, including Andrea Maldera and Marcello Quinto, will also be departing alongside De Zerbi, while coaches Andrew Crofts and Jack Stern will remain with the club moving forward.
