Parma’s Corporate CEO: “The project is extremely complex because a stadium in the city center offers a series of limitations. As for the temporary one”
The Corporate Managing Director of Parma, Luca Martines, spoke – on the sidelines of the awards ceremony in the Region – on various topics. From the pre-season retreat to the stadium, passing through the evocative return of Gigi Buffon to the Duchy. Hypothesis, for now, remote. But let’s go in order, starting with the pre season and confirming what ParmaToday.it had written in the preview. “We should most likely do the retreat in Collecchio – explained Luca Martines -. We decided to stay close to our fans and our people, so I think this is a salient and relevant element.” Stadium Chapter: the Council had announced the vote in the City Council in May, but there seems to be some delay on the roadmap. Observations would have arrived in the Municipality from committees, mainly. They are in the evaluation phase. There is a fair amount of confidence, however, in the positive closure of the matter, even if there were to be requirements and investigations to be completed. Delicate issues need to be resolved such as, for example, the duration of the concession. “The project is extremely complex – explains the Corporate CEO – because in any case a stadium in the city center offers a series of limitations. If we want due to the point of its location. There is always an extremely positive and productive dialogue with the Municipality and, therefore, we will certainly find a meeting point. The concession at 75 years? Can be. The temporary stadium? Let’s say that the problem, if you like, is much more linked to the temporary system. We expected to have times a little faster, a little quicker. Instead it is a project very similar to that of the Tardini stadium, therefore with a series of bureaucratic-administrative steps that take time. There are various issues, one relating to the regulatory framework of reference. The process that must be followed for a temporary stage can be compared to that of a permanent stage. Is it done from scratch or not? However, this is a theme to be applied wherever you decide to do it, possibly. Our desire is to remain playing in the Province.”
Closing dedicated to Gigi Buffon and his possible return to Parma as manager. “They are just rumours, hypotheses so to speak: even perhaps a nice wish or a nice hope, but still lacking in concreteness”, explains Luca Martines.
