Former AC Milan star Stefano Eranio believes Zvonimir Boban's sacking was an error.

Eranio says Boban and fellow director Paolo Maldini had been turning the club around before the former's axing.

"It's a pity that he is no longer in the job," Eranio told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “Because with Maldini, he had started a positive path, albeit with some understandable mistakes.

“Zvone left the scene when he began to see glimpses of light."
