The press conference to present the new technical area of Barletta with the words of Romano, De Vezze and Lorusso.
Presentation day at home Barletta. The Apulian club, represented by Romano, De Vezze and Lorusso who will form the new technical area, illustrated the new project in view of the next season at the press conference.
There is no certainty in which category Barletta will playbut the idea is still to set up one important team that can compete in both Serie D and Eccellenza.
President Romano: “We want to win. On the repechage..”
President Arturo Romano: “We have already identified the new coach, but due to contractual obligations it was not possible to present him. Meet Daniele De Vezze, former Bari player and present figure in Puglia. As a manager it will be a new experience but I am sure that he will be a valid person.
Lorusso will take care of setting up the team. We have reached an agreement with a coach who knows the local reality. We are still in limbo, with one foot in D and one in Excellence. I’m optimistic because some teams might not sign up. At the base of everything our objective is to win and that’s what we will try to do.”
“Favarin? Very good coach. We decided to build the technical area to lay the foundations. Regarding the relationship with the old management, it seems to me that there are new people next to me here. Franco Zavaglia alerted me to De Vezze’s profile and we immediately empathized. Lorusso was recommended to us by people who are helping us build a team. I had the opportunity to stay here and I felt the great passion of the people”.
“As for the repechage we are ready to apply. Unfortunately we have to wait to understand the rankings. We must prepare for all eventualities. Let’s think about Excellence, the first players will be valid for both categories. The market does well at the beginning“.
“It’s never easy to win. Favarin’s statements? Everyone assumes their own responsibilities. On a legal level, resignation is given if there is a contract beforehand. Lots of people talking? You already see three of us here, it seems normal to me. Sharing is an added value, the involvement of the other party will always be there”.
“We are trying to set up a hospitality area to try to involve the fans on all occasions. Between Viterbese and Monterosi I had big problems in C. I’m not interested in one-against-all football. There is no need for divisions. I will always look for entrepreneurs who are open to ideas, I spoke to several people this week. There were many who wanted to meet me but I didn’t have the chance“.
The director of the technical area, De Vezze: “We will take important players for both categories”
Space also for Daniele De Vezzenew director of the technical area: “I am grateful to the president for the opportunity in a new leadership role. We talk about football and I believe my skills can be useful. We have very clear ideas about what we want to do. The coach has been identified, we’ll move on to the team but we have already contacted several players.
We are in Barletta and we want to win, we will do everything and leave nothing to chance. We will put passion, dedication and try to make as few mistakes as possible. I ask, if possible, to be judged for what we do. I know it’s not easy, relegation is never easy to digest. Help us, we will always show our face.”
“Surely I won’t go into the coach’s choices but I will be very present on the field. We will deal with communication because there is so much to do. We are aware of the situation and convinced that we will do well immediately“.
“We will get important players for both categories. We are not hiding and all the people contacted were told that we must win”.
DS Lorusso: “The first official announcements will arrive in the next few days”
The new DS, Bartolo Lorusso: “I return to Barletta after 7 years. I am very grateful to be part of this project, I thank the company for the opportunity. I know the warmth that this square can give when things are going well. It’s difficult to talk after last year’s result.
We need to get people back to the stadium. I will take care of the technical part. We cannot name the coach because he is still under contract until June 30th. Whoever was contacted didn’t hesitate for a moment to say yes. The first official documents will surely arrive in the next few days. We are all united, we want to do great things. The city, the people, everyone deserves it.
In life the most difficult things are the most beautiful. In recent years as a footballer I had already undertaken this discussion, I participated in the technical choices. The challenge is arduous but it doesn’t scare me”.
