CROTONE Matteo Valentino Colucciformer Pythagorean in C series in the seventies, it could become a Crotone collaborator for the youth sector? The hypothesis is not at all obvious after the meeting the former rossoblù glory had with the club at the beginning of last week.
Matteo Valentino Colucci, when he wore the colors of Crotone, was a young, fluid defender arrived from Modena together with the attacker Gravante at the beginning 1976/1977 season of the Serie C championship. Even today, many seasons later, he keeps his passion for this team intact.
His forays along the flank were a thorn in every opponent’s side. In the city of Milothe first championship, Colucci lived it to the fullest under the technical guide by Gianni Corelli. An unforgettable season (that of 1976/1977) which saw Crotone fight on equal terms with Bari for the promotion to Serie B. At that time the play-offs and the team that finished at the top of the table was promoted. The defeat in Bari penalized for Crotone byreferee Redini of Pisa who assigned a penalty kick to the Apulians for a non-existent handball by defender Ranzani.
A few more championships with Crotone in Serie C2 and then other Italian and even foreign teams they took advantage of the performances of defender Colucci. Today he is no longer a footballer, but he has always remained active in the world of football, being able to take advantage of the experience accumulated over the years on the pitch.
He loves watching young footballers and then recommending them to various teams. There are many clubs that trust him to expand the youth sector and beyond. They also ask him for some advice for players to be used immediately in the first team. Over the years he has never allowed his passion and affection for Crotone to settle and when he can he gives Sicilywhere he lives, returns for a few days.
The last time he was present on the shores of the Ionian Sea was at the beginning of last week where he met with the responsible for the youth sector and, it would seem, also with president Gianni Vrenna. The reason for the meeting, in addition to greetings, was certainly a possible collaboration between Crotone and Colucci. If this were to materialize, it would be a positive event to include a figure like the former Pythagorean Matteo Valentino Colucci among Crotone’s technical managers.
