How does Montano react to the news that Othello is about to take his place as governor of Cyprus in Othello?

In Othello, Act II, scene ii, Montano
welcomes Othello as his replacement:

readability="5">

I am glad on't; 'tis [he is] a worthy
governor.

He has had good
news on this day of his retirement: the Turkish fleet, enemies to the city-state of
Venice, is sunk and defeated.  The island Cyprus is in the good hands of the Venitian
army.  He had no doubt been nervous of the threat of an impending invasion from the
Turks.

Contrary to Iago, Montano is not jealous of the
Moor.  He even hangs around and drinks with some of his men.  He does take exception to
getting stabbed by the drunk Cassio, but other than that, he welcomes his civilian
life.
