“This is the year for us. Especially after the economic efforts we have made. We want to be what we say we are and write a new page in our history.” Thus Matteo Manfredi, president of Sampdoria, interviewed by the magazine Forbes.
The president of the Blucerchiati was included in the ranking of the top 100 Italian managers by the prestigious magazine: “Sampdoria? It was a transfer opportunity. It’s true, we thought about it over and over again, but in the end the passion, the desire to save and bring back a historic club of Italian and European football.
I would like to experience the company as if it were a simple asset, but I can’t. Sampdoria depends on different logics, especially due to the responsibility we have towards our fans and the football system. Football, and sport in general, has an emotional and sensorial component that no other sector is capable of generating. The challenge is to be able to apply programming and long-term logic to football that is often lacking”, his words reported by Primocanale.it
