RUI COSTA BLASTS VIOLA OVER TERIM

The former Benfica ace also took a swipe at the club for the way they handled the situation with Terim.

The Turkish coach left the club earlier this week and he has been replaced by Roberto Mancini and the Portuguese playmaker believes that it be hard for the side to recover from his loss.

"I am disappointed and sad about what happened," said Costa. "They keep on doing always the same mistakes.

"I will talk about it with my team-mates but I did not like what happened. Terim had a great relationship with all the players and he did a great job in Florence."

Terim has been linked with a move to Milan next season and Rui Costa could join him at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium as the Rossonerri are thought to be big admirers of the player and are keen to sign him.
