Torino coach Sinisa Mihajlovic is surprised facing AC Milan on the opening day of the season.

He was sacked by the Rossoneri in April and his replacement Cristian Brocchi stepped aside to make way for Vincenzo Montella.

“We are starting the season with a side like Milan and thus it is a game of some import," said Mihajlovic.

“I was rather surprised that we're playing at San Siro, as I thought our first game would be at home, seeing as Torino played the opener away last year as well.

“It's always difficult in July to comment on the fixture list, we just have to take it one game at a time. After the fifth round we have a series of tough games, which means we've got to start strong."
