AC Milan managing director Adriano Galliani wanted to bring Vincenzo Montella to San Siro two years ago, but is happy to have his man now.
The Rossoneri have lacked stability in the dugout since the departure of Massimiliano Allegri in January 2014, with Clarence Seedorf, Filippo Inzaghi, Sinisa Mihajlovic and Cristian Brocchi each only granted short spells at the helm.
"We also wanted him two years ago, he is here now and we are happy like this," Galliani told Milan TV.
"We are a flexible team, with a very good manager. We will celebrate knowing that Tuesday we have another tough one [away at Genoa] ahead of us.
"It's all working out perfectly, we can't even see one problem. Compared to the past, people have changed a lot."
"It's incredible, we won the match thanks to a class of [19]98 and a class of [19]99 player. Donnarumma's save reminded me of [Christian] Abbiati's in the victory against Perugia [that helped win the 1999 Scudetto]," he added.
"What Locatelli is doing is something legendary, he scored a fantastic goal. No one in Europe has a class of '98 and a class of '99 in the starting XI, this means we are working well.
"Locatelli has a great family, they will help the boy keep his feet on the ground. He is improving a lot, like Donnarumma. Gigio as well has a lovely family behind him, and this makes the difference."
Locatelli said: "When you have a ball like that on your feet you don't have to stop and think, you shoot and hope to score. I am very happy, but I must keep my feet on the ground.
"I dedicate the goal to my teammates who help me a lot and to our captain Montolivo."
