There will also be a bit of Spezia in the next Champions League. Italiano and Motta, who followed one another at the helm of the Eagles, left there for a great adventure towards Europe. The 19th Century retraces the paths: first, starting from the bottom and with a two-year contract of 110,000 euros with a bonus for reaching tenth place, he led the eagles to victory in the Serie B play-offs and to a splendid salvation in Serie A, bringing one of the greatest tactical innovations and techniques from across the Italian landscape. At the best of times it was Fiorentina who brought him to Tuscany, increasing his wages. Now there is Bologna, at 2.2 million per season.
And then Thiago arrived
A journey in some ways similar to that of Thiago Motta, who started with a two-year deal at Spezia for 450,000 euros plus a 150,000 salvation bonus. We didn’t see such sparkling football, but the Italian-Brazilian was also effective, creating a nucleus around himself ready to throw themselves into the fire for him. Then the breakup, with a year’s salary left to the club. So, for him too, Bologna, complete with the Champions League. Now the new challenge is called Juventus, not a little.
