The extraordinary successes seem to be shaken by some events that have occurred in recent days, which have led the president to contemplate resignation.
Trapani is experiencing a magical moment thanks to the successes achieved by the football and basketball teams. In these hours, however, something seems to be undermining the serenity of the Sicilian club. According to sources close to the company, in fact, the volcanic President Valerio Antonini was disappointed by some episodes.
First of all, the decision of the Bologna Police Headquarters to start administrative proceedings against him after the basketball final on Monday, when Trapani Shark achieved a resounding success at the PalaSport in Piazza Azzarita and achieved promotion to Serie A.
But not only. Antonini would have been disappointed, above all, by the poor participation of the organized supporters of both football and basketball at the Granata party on 13 June in which Barbara d’Urso and Elettra Lamborghini took part.
These events would have led Antonini to consider resigning while waiting to appoint temporary successors and give Ernest & Young the mandate to sell the shares of the two companies. Situation in progress and the next few hours will be fundamental to understand more.
Trapani, an extraordinary 2023/24
This news does not change in the slightest the absolutely perfect 2023/24 experienced by Trapani. The football team dominated Group I of Serie C. 94 points won in 34 games. 30 wins and just 4 defeats. Impressive numbers that have brought the Sicilians back among the pros three seasons after bankruptcy.
Season on the same line also for the basketball team, the Trapani Shark. A success that arrived in the playoff final with Bologna but was built already in the regular season of the A2 championship, in which the team, coached first by Daniele Parente and then by Andrea Diana, finished in first position in the green group. Very important results, which arrived thanks to significant investments made by the owner Antonini.
The revolution with Antonini
With the Roman entrepreneur Trapani he completely turned the corner in just a year. It was May 5, 2023, when Antonini, always a friend of Maradona, decided to acquire the two companies. In the summer, footballers and basketball players from another category arrived and the demonstration quickly reached the field.
The two teams have rewritten their history in football and basketball, as mentioned, shattering record after record. A lot of work, combined with a great passion. This characterized Antonini’s commitment in his first season in Trapani. A commitment that is now in a phase of reflection and we will have to wait to find out what the choice will be.
