Born in Amalfi, 51 years old, the new red and white coach began his football career at the age of twenty in his hometown, and then moved first to Avezzano and then to Castellammare where the first satisfactions arrived. Then in the early 2000s the move to Matera, a team with which he won another championship, then the move to Modugno and the return to Matera. The last years of his career were spent in Basilicata, between Scanzano Jonico, Policoro and Bernalda, his last experience on the pitch.
Immediately afterwards, Rispoli, nicknamed “the emperor”, began his career on the bench, first at Viggiano and then at Bernalda, always between Serie B and Serie A2. Finally, at the beginning of last season the call came from CMB Futsal, the first female experience, and the rest is recent history. “Last year – declared the new coach from Altamura – I accepted the CMB’s proposal because I was intrigued by the world of women’s futsal and I must say that the results went beyond expectations. At the beginning of the season we were not among the most accredited teams but , thanks to an almost perfect season, we achieved promotion to Serie A. The only regret is having lost the Italian Cup final against Pero, the only defeat of the season.”
When asked why he accepted the court of Soccer Altamura, Cesare Rispoli replied: “I accepted the proposal because I have always respected the club, with a president who, like me, has had an important competitive past, even if in football, and therefore he knows the subject and a very determined vice president with clear ideas about what the objectives are. It is important to have managers who know the dynamics of a team and who are able to understand the situations on the pitch, in the changing rooms and how to work.”
The coach from Campania will not be alone: ”With me in Altamura, the technical collaborator Nino Todaro will also arrive, who has followed me since I started my career on the bench. He too boasts an important past in football and his help was fundamental for achieve the results obtained.” Therefore, the first declarations in red and white from Nino Todaro could not be missing: “I am happy and proud to be able to be alongside Mister Rispoli for this new experience with Soccer Altamura. We will certainly do our best to make this leap in quality and to be able to bring the team to the top category. Furthermore, for me it is a return to Altamura, having played there during my football career and therefore I hope to be able to give my best and achieve my goals with this beautiful club.”
Mister Cesare Rispoli and his collaborator Nino Todaro are welcomed to the Soccer Altamura family. Once the bench has been sorted out, now we need to sort out the team which will certainly be profoundly renewed. Already announced that Raquel Pedroso and Desirée Russo will not be in Altamura next season.
