Andrea Valliwho took the place of Ario Costa (who will remain as ambassador together with Magnifico) as president of VL Pesaro, spoke to Il Resto del Carlino: “The handover took place between 18 and 19 June, but from today it’s effective. I’m spending 70% of my time at the office, it was necessary because there are many things to fix, it will always be like this, I have a company to run, but it’s stimulating to see how a team is born from behind the scenes I’ve always been a fan.”
On the market
“I have already experienced how you can go from euphoria to despair when a player who seems taken tells you the next day that he has changed his mind… Unattractive offers? I would not say. We have a budget suitable for achieving our declared ambitions, that is, those of trying to get back up quickly. The budget? Pino was given the amount to make the team, he could already spend it in full today. We are defining the rest of the budget and obviously it does not only concern the first team market.”
Andrea Cinciarini and the other Italians
“Andrea knows that we are waiting for him with open arms, but not forever because the other choices that the coach will make depend on his choice. If I have to be honest, the chances of him leaving us seem higher, but since we know his character we know that if he were to staying would not be a fallback: it is not like him to get by or be satisfied. Whatever choice he makes, he will marry her with conviction. Could nothing be done with the other Italians? We couldn’t even sit down with some of them, they wanted Serie A. We negotiated with others but couldn’t agree on the money. We had to start practically from scratch, or rather from one, Maretto. Now, with De Laurentiis, we are down to two. The teams that were already in this championship have an Italian system where it was enough to make adjustments to try to improve, it’s not the same thing. But in the end I’m sure we’ll do well“.
