If the desire of the new Vuelle board of directors was to signal a profound change, the operation of putting together, even a little confusingly, the presentation of the new coach-general manager “Pino” Sacripanti (see next page) with that of the new The board of directors, which will officially take office on June 18th, was halfway successful. Open stage applause for Pino’s return and some doubts about the fact that the presentation of the new managers seemed too similar to that of the previous management. Despite the absence of the Costa-Cioppi duo, who for eleven years totally managed the choices of the city’s main sports public company.
In reality, the president Andrea Valli on the one hand and the coordinator of the Consortium Franco Arceci on the other would have liked to mark the management transition, thanking the resigning board members, and underlining the new management from Tommaso Bertini to Roberto Rovere, up to the reconfirmed Nicola Dolci , who will take on a managerial and management role alongside the presidents. If the coach’s choice had the upper hand, it was perhaps the best thing about the afternoon organized in the city council room. Ultimately, if we want to describe Vuelle as a public company, the choice of the municipal house makes more than sense when there are at least 25 entrepreneurs involved in the creation of the budget. Of course it will take some time to fully get the company started both on a sporting and organizational level: “It seems clear to me – replied Franco Arececi – that we must underline that we have been left with a debt-free company. And the Consortium is truly a public company, which is also looking for support from other owners, but without risking anything with everything that is happening in the city nearby. It is a model that has worked and will continue.”
Franco Arceci also tries to be bold: “Such a large presence makes us feel proud to belong to this club which will turn 80 in 2026. With the resignations of Ario Costa, Luciano Amadori, Andrea Rombaldoni and Fabrizio Malerba, a cycle that began in 2012. Allow me to thank them, because they took a company with debt and in difficulty and now leave it with a balanced budget, which is the most precious asset for a company. Between the old and the new Board of Directors, intense work has been done for the handover. It is a delicate moment and this transition will be formally completed at the end of June.” President Andrea Valli is obviously cautious about the public company: “We can call the company a public company or not, but in any case it belongs to the city of Pesaro, to all of us, members of the consortium or not, who are here. It takes the contribution of all areas of city life: the fans, the professionals, the press to achieve as quickly as possible – underlines Andrea Valli – the result of returning to Serie A1, the place that belongs to us. We are certainly a club that wants to remain on the lower level All our efforts are aimed at achieving this result. In sport nothing is taken for granted but we must all push together to have a clear conscience.”
The relationships with the sponsor Carpegna Prosciutto have not yet been defined: “The negotiation has yet to be closed. We have to make the assessments – says Franco Arceci – necessary after the fall in A2, both on our part and on the part of Carpegna Prosciutto. We will do so in the next weeks”. “We have already worked to put together a budget – explains president Andrea Valli –, in line with the company’s ambitions to be able to rise back to Serie A1. The choice of Sacripanti is the first confirmation of our good intentions. If we started like this he wants say that we won’t stop. And today’s enthusiasm, the presence of so many fans and enthusiasts gives us a further push to do quickly and well. We have a lot of confidence in the consortium members – says the president – and in the sponsors, who are still here at our club flank”.
