It was love at first sight. On the other hand, if a coach busy attending the course in Coverciano decides to say goodbye to Tuscany and reach the “Libero Liberati” stadium aboard a black Mercedes van to meet the sporting director of Ternana, something more than a mere desire to exchange two there must have already been chatter at the beginning.
And so to the exclusive from a few days ago (READ HERE) or the long chat between Ignazio Abbot and Stefano Pumpkinhead on Tuesday, lasting over 3 hours, a new chapter is added. That of the agreement reached, of Abate’s choice to prefer Terni to the possibility of coaching Serie B, of Capozucca’s persuasive ability (who acted as guarantor for the seriousness of the season).
In these days without many fixed points we have had the opportunity to read and listen to many things. Now there are starting to be fixed points. Despite the fact that in bars (whether virtual or real) many lived on certainties, which have now turned into “but we knew so much”. Those who have had the patience to follow us know that we have always treated the issue with great seriousness (not only since this year, but even more so in this period when things are not always linear). Ternana is ready to restart and the technical part will restart with Capozucca and Abate. And that mix of experience and enthusiasm that has always been the leitmotif of this club, not only on the pitch.
The parties had said goodbye in a “Liberati” stormed by bad weather with the promise to adjourn shortly. 24 hours we had written. Abate took a few more. Also because Reggiana had also knocked on the door of the former AC Milan Primavera coach, who in the meantime had said goodbye to Alessandro Nesta who moved to Monza in Serie A. But the Reggio Emilia club never made the attack, while the attack on Abate was made Capozucca and Ternana. And so the virtual handshake arrived because everything else will have to wait for the next few days.
Today Ternana can say it has its new coach. A Ternana who, as we told you, will start again from the trident Guide–Pumpkinhead–D’Aniello (READ HERE).
