Andrea Sottil insists he gave everything to Udinese.

The coach was sacked by Udinese this week and replaced by Lele Cioffi.

Sottil told TMW: "I'm very sorry it ended like this.

"I gave my soul and this ending hurts even more. I want to thank all those who have been part of this long journey. Those who have always supported us, those who have worked together with me every day for the good of this club, my boys, the Bianconeri fans, the people who believed in this project.

"I am and will always be grateful to this family, I am and will always be a Udinese fan."
