Lazio, Paglia: «When Eriksson left, Mancini wanted to be coach in his place. But Cragnotti…” The words of the former head of Capitoline communications
Guido Paglia he got to know well Sven Goran-Eriksson in the adventure lived together with Lazio in the early 2000s. The former head of communications and external relations during the management of Sergio Cragnotti, speaking on the microphones of Radio you are, talked about his relationship with the Swedish coach. His words.
WORDS– «Eriksson was a fundamental cornerstone of that teambut let’s not forget about Mancini who was his locker room equalizerbut above all In the Governed. Fundamental person for that company. The day after the championship victory I went to Formello with Cragnotti to meet Eriksson and plan the future. When we asked him what to do to improve the team, he he replied: ‘President, sell them all’. Why he knew they wouldn’t perform as well as they had up to that point. Unfortunately she was right. I also remember that on the occasion of Lazio’s centenary, Eriksson didn’t even want to go to the stadium. Little by little we convinced him and even managed to show him around the pitch. When Eriksson left, Mancini wanted to be coach in his place. But Cragnotti chose the right man for that moment, namely Zoff. Cragnotti in the key moments of his history at Lazio became hermetic and no one knew in advance what he was doing ».
