The presentation as the new coach of Padua becomes for Matteo Andreoletti the opportunity to speak for the first time after his dismissal about his experience at the helm of the Benevento: “In general, it was a wonderful few months in Benevento – he has declared -; I think I improved more in the six months spent in Benevento than in all the others spent as coach. It was a formative experience, in a depressed place due to relegations, with many expectations and also with many journalists. A reality that I was honestly not used to. It was very stimulating, but it is clear that I was not happy with the exemption. However, he serves to give me a lot of energy, I’ve been at home for six months and I can’t wait to start again”.
Andreoletti goes into detail: “It wasn’t all wasted, I scored 30 points and you know the statistics. Suffice it to say that three games before the dismissal we were in a direct battle to go to first place. It all seems black, but it wasn’t. For me it was still a wonderful experience, I take many lessons with me. I think I wouldn’t be the coach of Padova if I hadn’t had the experience of Benevento.”
On the contract: “The two years were not my request, I would have accepted even one. I look at it short-term, I was very lucky because I had several requests, several possibilities, but none were up to Padova’s proposal, because in Serie C it’s difficult to find them. It is a place that offers advantages, a high-level, very important reality, with strong ownership; It will be a privilege to work with a director like Mirabelli and with a company that wants to do something beautiful. While in previous proposals I thought about it for a few days, this time it wasn’t like that. When Padova calls you you have to take the car and come and sign immediately. I can bring a crazy desire and I want to measure myself with this reality.”
About the staff: “I went to Benevento with four of my collaborators, in that case in my opinion there was a need for change because the environment was not positive, so everything had to be changed. Here I had a different perception; from the day I set foot in the stadium, I immediately met extraordinary professionals.”
