“Compared to the 2022-23 season, the year was objectively more difficult, we were coming from a season that had brought us to the playoffs, lost only against Lecco then promoted to Serie B due to a double draw, a little more fatigue was perhaps physiological, but even the difficult moments had still brought about an early salvation, there was a way to plan everything calmly. Then that cursed 4th June…”: exclusively to the microphones of TuttoMercatoWeb.com, This is how Filippo Perucchini, who was at Ancona last year, makes his debutwho then disappeared from professional football on the 4th of June mentioned by the goalkeeper.

He then continues: “We also talked about it again with former teammates, we don’t understand how what happened was possible, the club was healthy: but the truth will never be known. What is certain is that a city with its fans, which has little to do with C, deserves at least B, was taken for a ride, but also that damage was done to all the employees who gave their all to achieve a certain result. And many of us would have liked to continue that path, but it wasn’t possible: it hurts, it was all very unexpected. However, I am happy that football in Ancona has not disappeared, and that it is starting again in Serie D: with the new club I hope it can find significant stability, so that it can definitively return to the highest levels of football”.

But would you have stayed with the new course of the Doric club in D?
“Ancona is a city that is dear to my heart, I will continue to live in the area even when I hang up my boots, and I hope to return to cheer on the team from the stands. At the moment, however, I am waiting for the right call from the professionals. I am training in Civitanova Marche to be ready, I am physically fine”.

So the market hasn’t moved yet?
“Since June 4th there have been a lot of conversations, there were some possibilities on the table, but for various reasons they didn’t come together. I would have liked to start with a team right from the retreat, but I’m still unattached, so I’m focusing on being ready: I’m hungry and want to get back on track, I’m sure it will happen soon”.
