Renzo Ulivieri, president of the coaches, commented on the case involving the former Lecce coach: “But let’s not exploit it, ours is a healthy community”
“Let’s use our heads to think.” He, Renzo Ulivieri, president of the coaches, intervenes: it is the call for (and for) common sense after the episode that happened in Via del Mare, the one in which Roberto D’Aversa was the protagonist: an ugly episode now known to everyone. “What happened in Lecce – says the number one coach – is there for all to see, it must be condemned, it certainly must not be trivialised, nor, I add, however, exploited. After all, the first to have realized the mistake was It was D’Aversa himself. A mitigating circumstance that does not eliminate the fact. I then think that if a man and a coach like him, always correct in his behaviour, transcends like this, it means that we are entering a dangerous dimension. Never like in this moment you need to use your head to think, beyond any tension generated by results and rankings.”
Reflection
—
Renzo broadens the discussion, because now we really need to reflect. “And I believe, like Aiac, that we need to make a broader reflection – continues the number one coach -. Italian football is in a particularly delicate moment, subjected to attacks of various kinds: poisons, accusations that are almost never clear, interests that conflict , in short, a set of situations that are undermining the foundations of the system, beyond its own limits which are also clear and which need to be faced and resolved, in a federal logic. I am also convinced that in this strange opaque period, the coaches have carried out their role to the best of their ability so far with energy and commitment, giving prestige to the image of our movement. I know well that, when we get to the last months of the championship, when the pressure increases for the objectives to be achieved, it is precisely the coaches having to manage the growing stress. But ours is a healthy community, which has shared values, which remain a heritage of our football. And, I am sure, our coaches will know how to remain anchored to these values to the end.”
