Arezzo, Settembrini: “Real men in the team. We can do great things”

It is a moment of transition for Arezzo, which has separated from Paolo Giovannini and he still has to unravel the knot of confirmation of Paolo Indiani on the bench. Next year there will no longer be the general manager, the true architect of the project of the last two years, and it will be necessary to understand whether the coach who brought the project onto the field, translating it into results, will remain.

We will definitely see you again Andrea Settembrini. Last night at Porta Santo Spiritoat the end of the evening dedicated to the delivery of the Golden Horse and the Amaranth Pearl, the captain (honoured with a plaque from the yellow-blue district) spoke clearly about his future, clearing the field of market indiscretions: “I’m pleased the affection the fans show me and the choice I made two years ago, when I went down to D for the love of this place, was the best for me. I have another two years on my contract, I will stay without a doubt: I deny any rumour who wants me elsewhere. My dream is to end my career here and maybe win another championship. It would be the icing on the cake for me and for the city.”

Settembrini arrived in amaranth in summer 2022 thanks to Giovannini, at the beginning of a purchasing campaign the effects of which are still felt today, given that many of those players will make up the squad for the next tournament: “I feel sorry for the director, without him who knows if I would be here today… Unfortunately these situations happen in football but I am sure that with these comrades, with these men we will be able to do great things.”

Point of reference in the dressing room, one of the most expert footballers in the group, not even Settembrini escaped the iron logic of rotations implemented by Indians. For a couple of months he ended up on the fringes of the starting eleven, only regaining his place at the end of the season: “The coach’s decisions must be respected even when they hurt. He has always taken them in good faith and I, being the captain, I have to set an example, because being out is difficult for everyone. In any case, I always remained calm: I knew I was physically well and in fact, when I had the opportunity, I think I proved it. Next year, yes , I would like to find more continuity.”
