Give us a logical reason, just one, for a statement of dismissal from a sporting director which arrives at 1.04 am: Messina preaches the desire to do things well, to get out of the tunnel of negative results in which it has been plunged for weeks now, of a victory that has been missing since February 1st, of wanting to bring serenity back to the environment, and then liquidating Luca Evangelisti with four words published on its website. In the night, almost secretly. From improvised people of the trade and the dynamics that move this world.
Operational amateurism, we have no other terms to define it. As well as a total lack of respect for communication operators. The same goes for the fans, most of whom are asleep at this time and who when they wake up will only be able to limit themselves to interpretations regarding the reasons that led to their dismissal two days later following the home defeat against Gelbison.
“Relieved of duty”so no resignation. Sporting director Evangelisti had put his face forward after the 5-2 home win against Enna, then he appeared increasingly more out of the way. Maybe because he had to accept some decisions even though he didn’t agree with them and therefore felt the weight of them doubly?
At the moment it is not known how this decision was reached, which comes on the day of the team’s departure towards the very delicate away match in Torre Annunziata. Messina will take to the field tomorrow, April 2, but the group will move towards Campania after today’s training (there will therefore be no usual pre-match conference from coach Vincenzo Feola).
Do we want to place the responsibility for an incomplete market on Evangelisti with this move? Or are there other reasons of an internal, behavioral nature or relationships with other members of the operational group? The statement sent in the Australian time zone does not clarify the boundaries between the culprit or the scapegoat…
The ball passes entirely to Morris Pagniello (“will be responsible for coordinating the technical-sports sector in this phase”), currently also vice president and general manager, who already had a say in the market, as he himself admitted during “Antenna Giallorossa” on Rtp. Some decisions, such as that of not signing other midfielders, were made by Pagniello himself. Just as his word had an impact on the vortex that led from the Romano-Martello pairing to the announced arrival of Ninnì Corda before Evangelisti was opted for as sporting director and then Parisi and Feola on the bench.
Now, five days before the end of the championship, this latest move. Confusing, at least until we understand the reasons. Inexplicable because it is contextualized in an organizational chart that should be replenished with strong and present figures, operationally and “politically”, and which instead actually loses pieces. Out of time and not just because it arrived during the night. At Racing we recognize the investments made so far, but on a management level there is clearly still a long way to go.
