The mayor Franz Caruso announced yesterday evening, at the end of the Assembly of Cosenza Calcio who held at the San Nicola cinema, which will involve the City Council to solicit a reinterpretation of the Convention, approved by the same City Council at the end of July 2023, for the assignment in concession for five years of the municipal stadium San Vito-Gigi Marulla at Cosenza Calcio. The announcement of the first citizen took place in the final phase of the assembly called by the fans of the northern curve of the San Vito-Marulla and in which Franz Caruso participated together with the president of the company, Eugenio Guarascio, the entrepreneur Alfredo Citrigno and, connected on video from Umbria, the lawyer Pietro Gigliotti, representing a consortium of entrepreneurs who had expressed in the past, interest in the purchase of Cosenza. To the determination to invest the city council to revisit the agreement that regulates the use of San Vito-Marulla by the football club, Franz Caruso arrived after externalizing its disappointment and bitterness for the nothing factual that the assembly recorded for the position of perception expressed by the president of Cosenza Calcio. “The President’s president – underlines Franz Caruso – dribbles the insidious questions and when he was asked to advance a concrete sales proposal, indicating a precise figure, he climbed on the mirrors, perceiving himself on his positions that have not changed a millimeter despite continuing to publicly declare that his intent is to give in to the company. A purpose – adds Franz Caruso – not followed by conclusive facts. vault taken around. and, with the city of Cosenza, that fans who once again gave the strong attachment to the team and to the rossoblù colors. The one aimed at knowing the figure of the assignment of the company was not the only question that Franz Caruso asked to the president of Cosenza Calcio. In fact, the first citizen asked Eugenio Guarascio also to know a date within which to define the sale with those who have formalized an offer and also make known the counter -offer made to the group of the lawyer Gigliotti. But also on this the President did not provide definitive clarifications, so much so that the indicative date within which the negotiation with the entrepreneur Citrigno should end was indicated on November 15 by Citrigno himself, while making the counter -commission received by Guarascio and formulated to entrepreneurs of outside the Region was brought to the attention by the deployed Gigliotti (5 million euros plus the hiring of the debt mass). Franz Caruso thanked the organizers of the initiative “who came – he said – civilly, politely and with respect in the municipal house to propose what is the situation and what could have been the solution. We have agreed together this initiative that I do not hesitate to define wonderful because it once again shows how the fans of Cosenza is mature, civil and responsible. For which what was achieved is a great result. – I asked the president – now it is months and months – to make public the will of the company about the path he intends to undertake. trade. But, stimulated in this direction, the president of Cosenza Calcio did not give the expected answers. Hence the subsequent decision to invest the maximum city assembly – his prerogative of modifying the terms of the Convention, just as he was the competence that approved the same – to revisit it. “The community – added the mayor before taking leave of the assembly – no longer recognizes itself in the action of a company that has failed”, remembering the attitude of great availability had from the first moment towards the same company, both by the Administration and by the President of the City Council “which followed the evolution of the situation from the beginning to me. We both considered it important to help Cosenza Calcio because it was fundamental for the city to overcome the difficulties. The fracture is incurable ”.
