There is a reason why Claudio Ranieri fell in love with him in football terms. Marco Mancosu when he was able to make his contribution to Cagliari he has always confirmed himself as a champion, a player capable of raising the bar and who in many situations of this troubled season in Serie A would have been served like hot cakes. Unfortunately he returned to Cagliari latewhen his body started playing tricks on him, compromising his performance.
Today Confirmation has arrived from sporting director Nereo Bonato that his contract, together with that of Simone Aresti, will not be renewed. “They have made their journey and were lucky enough to experience promotion and this year in Serie A – said the director – Having played the last minutes of the season in Serie A was very gratifying for them too.”
The regret remains of not having had the talented playmaker a few years earlier, when that magical foot could have made Cagliari’s fortunes for several years. Unfortunately, the opportunity to wear the rossoblù again came only two years ago, at the age of 34, after a career full of satisfactions but which without a doubt, if football were more meritocratic, could have achieved much more. A regret not only for Cagliari who let him go at a very young age, but for all of Italian football. However, his signature remains in a piece of history written in the magical year and a half with Ranieri.
