Torino coach Juric on AC Milan Coppa shock: Wonderful night for the fans and president

Torino coach Ivan Juric admits the dressing room was bouncing after their Coppa Italia win against AC Milan.

Despite Koffi Djidji's red card, Toro won thanks to Michel Adopo's winner.

Juric beamed: “We are all very happy, it's a wonderful night for the president (Urbano Cairo), the fans and everyone. We were on level terms with Milan when it was 11 against 11, then after going down to 10 men we stayed organised and focused.

“The goal was created by two lads who were on loan in Serie C, so it's a great story for them.

“Up until the red card, Toro created chances, played at the same level as Milan and in my view had a great game. At the time, I thought Djidji got the ball, seeing it again I still think he got the ball."

He added, “We moved the ball well against some strong defenders like Kalulu, Tomori and Gabbia too, so it wasn't easy. It is true we could've done something more in the final third, but I think we overall responded well to a side that was very aggressive."
