Among the many football figures present today at the Social Football Summit in Turin, Claudio Fenucci, CEO of Bologna, also spoke about his choice of Italiano for the rossoblù bench.

Bologna, Fenucci: “We play a brand of football that is at a European level”

The CEO of Bologna, Claudio Fenucci, gave an interview on the first day of the Social Football Summit in Turin. Here are his statements, as reported by tmw:

“I have always had a tendency to choose coaches who promote an attacking style of play; I think I was the only one to hire Zeman three times. Italiano arrived at a difficult time: he had done well in Florence and had managed Fiorentina well across multiple competitions, which was exactly what we needed. He had a different approach from Thiago Motta but was always proactive. We wanted to bring entertaining football because the fans appreciate it. Italiano’s skill was in convincing a group that had already established itself to embrace his ideas of play, and he did so after two complicated months—then the team absorbed the concepts. We play a brand of football that is at a European level and it should also serve as motivation for other teams.

If you look at the results, it’s clear that the last few years have been managed well. Our football is one that links results to revenues; participating in European competitions increases revenue and creates added value for the players. The internal atmosphere is no different: we are a club where people are at the center. Saputo is an entrepreneur and says: the focus is on people, and he is always very attentive to this, to the connections and internal relationships.

We are a structured club: myself, Di Vaio, Sartori, 19 scouts, we watch more than 1,400 matches. We have a platform where all the data providers converge, and it’s used by the technical department, plus the work of the 19 scouts. We have internal processes for evaluating players.”
