AC Milan striker Antonio Cassano insists he's now more mature.
He declared his intention to return to Genoa one day after his rapport with Sampdoria ended in a row with President Riccardo Garrone, the latest of many outbursts that affected his career.
Cassano said: "There was a time when my head just refused to grow up. Some, like Fabio Capello, tried to put me on the right track, but there was nothing to be done.
"Massimiliano Allegri is a good guy, he knows how to approach me. I must also thank Cesare Prandelli for all he has done.
"Now I am expecting a child and it's an uphill struggle, as soon my kid will know all the dumb things I did! It will be tough being credible at that point... but I'll manage it.
"Just two things really count: the first is education and the second having a ball between your feet. The boy is showing positive signs already, as he constantly kicks in his mother's tummy. Both right and left footed."
