The CEO of Monza Adriano Galliani he spoke in the evening of the presentation of the team available to Alessandro Nesta and on that occasion he also returned to the choice of the post-Palladino:
Nesta’s choice as coach?
“The reason is not romantic. Or rather it is also romantic. But it is above all a technical one of evaluations. We have analysed a series of data and made reasonings that I hope are correct. From there the name of Nesta came out, this is to say that he is not recommended. Then the 10 years at Milan certainly did not disturb, but the choice is absolutely technical. The staff is made up of some people who were with him at Reggiana, but also others who were at Monza last year with Palladino. Now it is a single staff and congratulations for this unity, no one remembers who came from outside and who did not and this is a credit to Nesta. The premises are good. Then football is football, just think of Istanbul in the Champions League that we lost despite the best of our eight finals. Then we won the one after that despite it being the worst match played”.
The derby with Como?
“These are memories… I was 15-16 years old and I went to Como with the red and white flags. We were welcomed with stones and other things. It’s a beautiful rivalry that has been going on for many years. Then the other rivals were Lecco and Varese. But the real rivalry has always been Como, which has had a good run and has a very strong ownership. It is doing a lot on the market, we will meet”.
