At 33, Jérémy Ménez offered himself a new challenge in Italy, on the Reggina side, where he arrived last Friday. After a short experience in L2 with Paris FC, the striker will play in the Italian second division next season. During an interview with Sky Italia, the former PSG player highlighted the reasons for this choice.
“For two or three years, I had lost a little passion for football, and I needed a human and sports project” before explaining his lofty ambitions, he explained: “I came here to win the Serie B championship and go to Serie A. There were other teams who wanted me but I wanted to come to Reggina”. Ménez also shares his joy at finding a country he knows well after his time at AS Rome (2008-2011) and AC Milan (2014-2016). “I’m finally back in Italy. The truth is that I’m very happy to be back here. Italy is my second country. They welcomed me, despite the Covid-19. We will have plenty of time to get to know each other, but I can already feel the warmth of the city and the passion that reigns there for the club “ he said. As a reminder, the center forward has signed up with the Reggina for the next three seasons.
