Former Torino defender Cesare Bovo has taken aim at his old club.

Bovo signed for Pescara on Friday.

"I'm coming off six months where I started well and which became disastrous in football terms," Bovo told reporters.

“I went from playing to being left out. The last game I played, aside from the Coppa Italia game with Pisa, was here in Pescara.

“Since then I've always trained well, but I've missed the rhythm of games. They were club and coaching choices that I don't know how to explain.

“In the summer I wasn't for sale, and that's why I stayed at Torino. Then everything changed for reasons which are incomprehensible to me.

“That's water under the bridge now though and I don't bear any grudges, luckily I'm here at Pescara now and I'm just thinking about giving my contribution in the fight to stay up."
