Christian PuscasiuManaging Partner of Presidio Investors, released the following statement on the occasion of the official transfer of ownership of Hellas Verona, a club taken over by Maurizio Setti: “We are thrilled to announce the purchase of Hellas Verona. We have worked hard over the last few months to achieve this goal and are eager to take our first steps in this historic city, leading a Club that is an integral part of Verona and its people. We would like to thank President Setti for his valuable work and for facilitating this transition. We are certain that his commitment, combined with that of Sean Sogliano and Simona Gioè, will play an important role in the future successes of the Club.”
Instead, these were the words of Setti himself: “Thinking back to these 13 years as President of Hellas Verona, there are many memories for which I feel pride and emotion. From the first promotion to Serie A, to my first year, to the last salvation of the last season, there were many moments in which I rejoiced in these colours. We achieved results, both on and off the pitch, which at first seemed unimaginable. Together we shared many beautiful moments, others more complicated, but with work and passion of many people who have been with me on this journey, we have managed to achieve goals that will always remain in the history of this Club. Now a new chapter is opening for the club and for the city of Verona.
I am sure that Presidio Investors will represent a great opportunity for Hellas Verona and that they will work tirelessly giving 100% to ensure the best possible future for this Club. Finally, I would also like to express my satisfaction at being able to continue my relationship with Hellas Verona through a new assignment. By making available the experience I have gained over the years, I hope to continue to achieve, together with Presidio, important results for the city and its fans”.
