The former Italy boss believes that the veteran playmaker was right to depart Verona to retire only a fortnight after joining them
The saga that has surrounded Antonio Cassano for the past two weeks has confounded many but Cesare Prandelli praised the veteran striker for his handling of the situation.
On July 10, Cassano signed for Verona on a free transfer following the termination of his Sampdoria contract in January.
Eight days later he told club officials he planned to retire with immediate effect, only to reverse his decision within a few hours.
However, after another week with the Gialloblu he announced he was leaving the club but not retiring, before a third U-turn as he confirmed he was hanging up his boots.
