The general director of Cosenza Giuseppe Ursino spoke up Sports Radio to comment on the future of the club. Here are his words, reported by Tifocosenza.it: “The president was good for Tutino, he hid everything and then decided, calling me to tell me his intentions. It’s the most logical thing to buy him out, after 20 goals and that championship. Then I don’t know what will happen. Now he’s ours, for us it is a great pride, he is an important player. It was a great intuition of the president who wanted him at all costs. He made a great sacrifice and wants to build an excellent team for next year.
I’m used to doing things step by step. The first step is salvation, because Serie B is a balanced and very difficult championship. It seems like you’re fighting to win the league and then you find yourself in the relegation zone. So salvation comes first. Then if all goes well, the next step is the playoffs. Delvecchio is a splendid boy, with great desire, prepared. A choice dictated by the desire to find a young figure who has the same football ideas as me and the president’s. I will play the role of general manager and at the same time we have found an excellent profile. Then the results will be the supreme judge.”
I’m used to improvising on technicians. He must be a young man and with Gennaro we are looking for some good coaches, let’s try to close for Monday or Tuesday. There is certainly a basis. Now we need to find the coach, based on him we will decide which players to hire. Then there is no problem with that, our sporting director has already seen many players and I have my ideas that match his.
In Crotone we gave an important image at a European level and so it must be in Cosenza. We will not aim for dry loans, the company must have assets. Otherwise we have to rebuild every year. However, the great satisfaction is having valorised young players like Fontanarosa and Zuccon who are now in the Under 21s. It will be even more difficult than last season. Important teams have been relegated from Serie A, they will be battleships. Then there are Cremonese, Palermo, who will try again. It will be very balanced. This is why we must work to recruit young but important players, building logically based on the coach who arrives.”
