Massimo Agovino officially entered the history of Giugliano, presenting himself as the new coach of the Serie C team. The appointment took place two days earlier, when the club decided to replace Raffaele DiNapoli with the expert 59-year-old coach. Yesterday's press conference marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Salerno team, which finds itself in a difficult position in the league table.
During the interview, Agovino expressed great enthusiasm for the opportunity he received. He thanked the Mazzamauro family for the opportunity and the sporting director Antonazzo for the trust placed. He underlined his bond with the club and his determination to demonstrate value on the pitch. “At 59, it's the first time a professional club has considered me and I have to prove I deserve this choice,” he declared.
The coach then spoke about the group, highlighting the availability of the players who, in just two days, gave him great emotions. His main objective is to get results, stop the bleeding of goals conceded and, if possible, play quality football. “My job is to score points and save the team from this difficult situation,” he added.
Agovino also stated that he was willing to risk his career to save the club. “If we were to fail, I might consider leaving the profession,” he admitted. He acknowledged the challenge of leading a team that is not at the top of the league, but expressed confidence in his ability to extract the best from the players. “The only path I know is hard work,” he concluded, recalling his humble roots and determination to transform Giugliano.
The future of the club will depend on Agovino's ability to transform the current situation. With his experience and the desire to give his best, the new coach hopes to bring Giugliano back to a more stable and competitive phase. The next step will be the first match under his guidance, where we will be able to evaluate the impact of his strategies on the pitch.
