The words of Of Caesar who announced his withdraw at the press conference: “This choice was not forced on me, I could very well continue. The company didn’t ask me anything. I am aware of what is to come. I felt the president was really excited and motivated. If I made this choice, this is also one of the reasons. I wouldn’t like to go back to last year anymore: I would like a point to be made and for us to be able to start again, we have to look at the present. I would like the new director and the new coach to work peacefully.”
On Magalinistrong name for the role of sports director: “I can only speak well of the director because I had him when I was young and I was a bit crazy. He is a serious, clean and competent person. He’s a hard worker.”
On his former comrades and the square: “I received many messages from my former teammates and also from many presidents that I never had. They made me so happy. The thing that put me in difficulty was the people who always said thank you and hugged me“.
On the difference between the old and new roles: “Everything will be completely different. There will be times when I will suffer: I have lived this life for 25 years. I have to be good at managing changes. On the other hand, however, they gave me a great opportunity not to stay at home. I just have to thank the president. I really want to learn.”
On the final season: “I don’t blame myself for anything and I’m proud of the fact that I always put Bari ahead of me, sometimes even going into battle.”
On the his journey to Bari: “I didn’t think I would ever make this journey with the Bari shirt. I was the one who wanted to return to Serie D, I felt I had left something unfinished. I don’t know when the spark struck, perhaps seeing the love of the people. Everything didn’t always go well, but I never gave up and perhaps that’s how this love was born. The year in Serie C with Mignani sparked love more than ever“.
On the possibility of organizing a farewell match at San Nicola: “It’s normal that I would have liked to say goodbye in a different way, but that’s okay. We’ll see what can be organised.”
The best goal: “The ones with Ternana and Parma this year were too important“.
The emotions in his past a Bari: “I really experienced so many emotions, both good and bad. There were 6 years in which I felt emotions that I have never felt anywhere. What I want to say is that: this square can be profitable if everyone rows on the same side. If that alchemy is created, there aren’t any places like that“.
To which sports director could be inspired in his career: “I’ve had many good ones. There isn’t one in particular that inspires me“.
