Fabrizio Scarsella, who died prematurely a year ago, was a highly esteemed physical education teacher and a great sportsman who dedicated his talent to football. A fan of L’Aquila 1927, the club with which he played as a player and coach, he was remembered thus by the city’s top football club: «For our colours, Schulz played, trained the youth sector, Caps and the first team (as a substitute in 1994 ). Lastly, he was one of the first to believe with conviction in the rebirth of our youth sector by coaching the Allievi in ​​2020, before the stop due to Covid.” Schulz was an example of a teacher and sportsman animated by the great human and moral values ​​that inspired his life on the football fields and at school. A person loved and respected by everyone, also for the joy of living that he conveyed, despite the long illness against which he fought without ever giving up.
