It is almost autumnal, also because the climate under the Mole is decidedly cold and humid. Light jacket and sweater on the shoulders, thus Paolo Vanoli made contact with the Toro world: on the last Monday of June, the new technician landed on the granata planet. In Turin it is San Giovanni and many businesses are closed for the patronal feast, but inside the club there is a desire and a rush to get to work immediately. Vanoli crossed the gates of the headquarters around 2.40 pm: driving the BMW racing car his agent Andrea D’Amicothe technical director had arrived a few moments before Davide Vagnati and the corporate collaborator Emiliano Morettiimmediately after here is the operations director Alberto Barile and the secretary Andrea Bernardelli.
The sky over Turin is gray and it is also starting to rain, Vanoli’s inspections of the two pitches are quick but no less attentive. And, in addition to the corporate faces, Mr. Bosco is also therethe person who takes care of the Philadelphia lawn and the Grande Torino Olympic stadium: the new coach also has a long conversation with him, considering the problems that have occurred in the recent past. Then the new Granata team moves inside the Philadelphia, where it can be seen first-hand the legacy left by Ivan Juric. The Croatian was satisfied in every way, now the headquarters has everything it needs to work at its best on and off the pitch: Vanoli observes the swimming pools and the gymthe areas dedicated to massages and exercises with the osteopath, then he also pauses in front of the images of the Bull of today and yesterday placed on the walls leading to the field. As the technician also crosses paths with Perr Schuurswho stopped by Fila for a short therapy session to recover from the bad injury he suffered last October. A coffee in the Beretta room, a trip to the relaxation room, this way it’s 4.15pm, just in time for the second visit of the day.
Vagnati and Moretti also act as “guides” at the Olimpico Grande Torino stadium, where Vanoli will try to build a fort to try to seriously aim for Europe. In addition to the coach, there is also a good part of the staff who worked with him in Venice: in the grenade adventure he will be followed by deputy Lino Filipe Neves Godinho, technical assistant Francesco Bordin, head of athletic trainers Giampiero Ascenzi, goalkeeper trainer Marco Zuccher, athletic data analyst Enrico Perri. The Vanoli era has truly begun.
