Abian Morano, the former agent of Inter’s Mauro Icardi has admitted he feels ‘the worst is yet to come’ after the striker was yesterday stripped of the Nerazzurri captaincy.
“Mauro has changed his way of thinking, his way of seeing things has changed profoundly and this seems obvious to me from the outside. I expected this to happen and I think the worst is yet to come. Inter behaved logically, considering how the agent of Icardi acted,” he explained in an interview with CalcioMercato.com.
Morano then went on to praise Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio and spoke on the difference between how things were handled when he was Icardi’s agent and now.
“Ausilio is a great professional, he always had a serious way of doing things and that’s why he decided to remove Icardi’s armband. When I was Icardi’s agent, things were managed in a professional, but above all, private way.
“Mauro has been a winner since he was a child, he never wants to lose, he hates to accept a ‘no’ and therefore this situation has hurt him but his career management has not been well done.”
Morano then spoke on whether he thinks an agreement over a new contract will be reached; “Everything can happen but Inter acted smartly and has become tired of some ‘games’ and unprofessional statements.
“Mauro now no longer decides about this. Inter has told all top clubs in the world that Icardi has a problem. It is a very strong message.”
He concluded by speaking on his relationship or rather lack of with the 25-year-old.
“I’m no longer his friend, he showed that to me by putting me aside when Wanda came in. I think her choice has influenced his career. He received my advice since he was 13 years old and with me by his side he joined Barcelona and Inter.”
