Modica is back in the news after almost two months. The last time was October 27th. We move forward with Messina, until yesterday this was not certain. He had expressed his desire to renounce his emoluments but was fired in order perhaps, in the future, “to earn a living elsewhere”. President Pietro Sciotto wanted him to stay, he did not agree to release him at his own discretion. After the deadline of December 20th, “I only have one path but I choose it myself”
At the moment, come on, no resignation. But everything is linked to the market. He would have had guarantees on the strengthening of the squad. If this doesn’t happen in January, the coach has announced that he will leave: “I will make suggestions but then I won’t do the operations myself, if there aren’t improvements it’s useless.”
Why didn’t he speak during this time? He couldn’t digest some of the media’s positions after Avellino’s 6-0 win and some of the comments about the staff that rained down on social media. “There are technical criticisms, I take responsibility for the team’s progress but I don’t accept that the man is undermined”.
Peacock’s farewell? “I didn’t know anything even though I had known him for 40 years, he decided to change. I personally had no other offers”
“If I win in Potenza I have the same points as last season but here we have been hammered for months,” he said. Personality limitations admitted but great praise for the humanity of the group. “The team put in maximum effort, the result is the result of many things. The problems are not just on the pitch. There is a lot of me in this squad, but like last year, it wasn’t just me who made it.”
