Mr. Francesco Scardamaglia, a loyal and transparent man
Scardamaglia arrived on February 14, 2022, a special date: Valentine's Day. With patience, dedication, and preparation, he attempted to reunite a team that was bottom of the table and on the verge of withdrawing from the Serie D championship. The team consisted of just 13 players and no option for signings. But his strength and tenacity paid off, as the team finished the season by making the playoffs with a remarkable comeback, winning the final match in Nocera and securing fifth place.
His well-deserved reconfirmation in Lamezia
This year, his great expertise has brought him back to lead the Lamezia Juniors. He will surely be rewarded, accompanied by a team of excellent players, carefully selected and chosen. Now he awaits the championship to start this new one adventure Football, with his head held high and with pride, is what distinguishes Francesco Scardamaglia. A man of heart, loyal, and transparent, who cares only about achieving his sporting goals. He is an example of honest football, fighting for his dreams and doing so with his own strength and merit. Speaking about this, Sports Director Muraca says: "We chose to retain Francesco for his great honesty and his expertise. Last year, he performed a true miracle, leading a team that was almost adrift to fifth place in the standings. What's more, four of our players have joined the first team. We couldn't have made a better choice."
And while it's true that football is often ungrateful, rarely, like this, does it give justice to those who deserve it.
Happy birthday, Mr. Scardamaglia!
