New Parma primavera boss Hernan Crespo admits he could've been working with AC Milan this season.
Crespo had an agreement with Clarence Seedorf before his sacking at Milan.
"There was a proposal from Parma in recent months, but I had given my word to Seedorf at Milan, then for numerous reasons I ended up coming here.
"I could've taken over a club side in Argentina, but I turned it down. Now I am focused on the present and on Parma.
"I am excited by the idea of an important project and it is great to work with players."
