Racing striker Milito explains Inter Milan departure

Racing Club striker Diego Milito has explained his decision to leave Inter Milan.

Milito chose to quit Inter at the end of last season.

"Obviously the chance to get the first-team football I didn't have with Inter last year because of a serious injury came into it," he told fifa.com.

"But I've always said that I wanted to come back fighting fit and give the club something. The idea of coming, playing and being in good shape had a lot to do with it.

"There are some people who maybe just accept the situation because they're happy with their lot. I lived really well in Milan and so did my family.

"Everything was in place for me to carry on, but this was what I wanted and my wife and my children supported me. You have to respect the decisions people make."
