On the Bari in free fall, he also intervened Antonio Decaromayor for a few more weeks before the votes that will take place in June.
With a post on Facebook, the mayor analyzed the team’s terrible performance: “Let’s not beat around the bush, Bari’s season was disastrous. But it’s not over yet. And then there are two things to do. The first: you footballers, in the next three (or five) matches, must throw your soul onto the pitch. If you have it. I know, for you, relegating is just a small professional stumble. The next day you go on holiday, forget everything and think about the next contract to sign. For many of us from Bari, simple people who live the passion for the football team in a visceral way, it would instead be a terrible emotional blow. Especially after June 11th last year. And it should be avoided at ALL COSTS.”
Decaro then turned to the De Laurentiis family: “The second thing must be done by managers and owners. However it ends and whatever Bari’s corporate future will be, we must acknowledge that something has happened this year that goes beyond the normal alternation between sporting successes and disappointments. Even with respect to the controversial issue of timeshare, which at the time of the award of the title, it was thought would have to be dissolved this year, in 2024. So whoever is in charge must take responsibility for the many mistakes that have led us to this point. And he must do it by showing his face, in a public meeting open to the fans, who are the true, only “shareholders” of the team. Did I do something wrong too? Well, I will be present at that meeting to answer all your questions, as always, without any filter, without any parachute. I owe it to you, in the name of the promise I made to you on the steps of the Della Vittoria, in the summer of six years ago”.
Closing: “In the meantime, tomorrow, even if I have not been authorized, I will try to reach the team in retreat, to make everyone understand, players, coaches and managers, that the destiny of Bari football is a precious asset for the whole city and as such must be protected . I don’t know if it will help, but I have a duty to try.”
