Pro Patria, Lecco, Messina, Sambenedettese, Cavese, Vibonese and the experience running this season in Brindisi in Serie C. a very respectable CV for one of the most sought after sporting directors in the last few hours. Let’s talk about Francesco Lamazzawho spoke exclusively to our editorial staff, taking stock of the season just ended and already projecting himself into the immediate future.
THE BUDGET OF THE SEASON
A relegation that was in some ways inevitable, especially due to the economic situation present in recent months at Brindisi: “I arrived in a club that was starting an economic crisis – he begins – a situation that I didn’t expect. The first problems arose at the time of non-payment of emoluments, there mentally the team collapsed, despite being a completely new team. We went looking for players who could lower their wages, managing to reduce it by 45%. Despite this, players have arrived who, taken individually, are important, as well as excellent growth for the young players in the squad. We were relegated by six points, which I believe in a different situation we could certainly have recovered. The Brindisi fans were fantastic, understanding the moment and being close to us.”
THE NEW RULE OF THE UNDERS
The new number of unders to be fielded will inevitably change the next Serie D championship: “I have always been against this rule – continues Lamazza – despite having set the record for the smallest number of players in Serie C with Cavese. This rule lowers the quality of the championship and is not even educational for young people. The vast majority of them subsequently stop playing football.”
THE FUTURE
After the experience in Serie C in Brindisi, we look to the future waiting for the right call: “There has already been some informal chat with professional clubs in recent days. I want to start again with a club that is first and foremost solid, some insiders talk about a “project”, but in today’s football this no longer exists.”
