Rome, Spalletti returns to Trigoria seven years after the last time: the background

For Luciano Spalletti Trigoria was truly home. At the beginning of his Roman adventure, twenty years ago, the coach really lived inside the Bernardini. He didn’t have a bed outside the locker room, like in Naples, but a real room and spent most of his days there before eventually getting an apartment. This is why today was not a visit like all the others, even if Spalletti returned to Trigoria not as former Roma coach but as coach of the national team. He met De Rossi, the players of the national team and also many people who over the years have been more than simple collaborators for him. Spalletti then saw the training, met the managers and saw a profoundly renewed and improved Trigoria compared to when he was there. And who knows, maybe he wasn’t even a little moved to see a live session directed by one of those players who were fundamental for him. One fact above all: the cups that De Rossi won with Roma bear the signature of only one coach. That coach was Luciano Spalletti.
