He revealed, "Have I had offers from Saudi Arabia in recent months? It's not important now, what matters is that I'm at Milan.
"It's true, I've had offers from Arab clubs, as well as Brazilian clubs or other nations. After what I did at Porto, I wanted a European team to continue my career as a coach.
"The national team also came to ask me to work: I was thinking of accepting, then Milan came along and I didn't think twice."
