The post on Instagram
“The director Criscitiello, who a few hours after the publication of the post on my profile regarding the spoken affair had already removed me from the internal chat of Sportitalia work, motivated the decision with the alleged data of the listening under the average of the television, without ever presenting any official data on the matter.
In fact, an evidently pretentious motivation, during the exchange of messages regarding his decision, then revealed the real reason for the suspension of “all al Var”: solidarity with colleague Manuel spoken was defined as a public position on my part unacceptable.
For this reason, the director of the Network, in which I worked for many years, has communicated to me the withdrawal from the employment relationship without respecting any form neither legal nor ethics, lifting myself from any position within Sportitalia: director of the productions and responsible for the Neapolitan editorial staff of the Network who, according to what has been said by the director Criscitiello, will not make productions in Naples as the city does not like.
I thank the public who followed us with immense affection and esteem, also in the other successful productions made in Naples for Sportitalia and in the story of the historic third Scudetto.
I thank all those who have participated in the productions from Naples in recent years. I thank Luca Cerchione, Claudio Agave, Emanuele Calaio and Ivano Trotta. Friends and team “owner” of all in the Var and all the guests who have followed one another in recent years. Made by Tony Florio, the direction of Mario Albano. The technicians: Raffaele Guarino, Antonio Di Gennaro, Audio Carmine Giordano. The Milan editorial staff for the assembly of the summary and the support in these three years.
