Mattia Destro starts from Serie B: surprise blow for salvation

Without a team since last July 1, Mattia Destro is ready to leave as a new Reggiana striker. The 34 -year -old, ex Rome and Milan among others, with over three hundred appearances in Serie A, therefore starts from Reggio Emilia with the aim of saving the team that has just passed under the guidance of Davide Dionigi after the viali exemption. Reggiana is currently third in the B ranking with 32 points in 31 days. Destro has signed for two months and in the contract there is no reference to the possibility of remaining in the grenade in the event of salvation, but possibly – to the goal achieved – there will be time to treat a possible extension. His last season in Serie A, at Empoli, has not ended in the best way: just 15 appearances and no goals. A heavy fasting for an attacker. His last network dates back to a Turin-Empoli (1-1) of 9 October 2022, then nothing more. Now, despite the nine months of inactivity, Reggiana has called him with the hope that he finds the way of the goal and that an element of his experience can contribute to the objective salvation.

That time with Galliani at the intercom

–

“Ready, is there Mattia? I’m the CEO of Milan Adriano Galliani”. A memorable scene, iconic in its own way. The Rossoneri manager came to much to convince the striker. “Mattia, you are the first choice of our coach, we believe a lot in your skills. I am here to take you to Milan”. Decisive. “Milan is Milan. Galliani’s gesture was the thing he counted most in this negotiation” he will then say the same right, convinced by that intercom.
