Palermo in Serie B Castagnini: Brunori is an important player. He can continue to show good results.”

Renzo CastagniniPalermo’s sporting director, speaking of the move to Serie B he won yesterday and the happy decision to focus on Baldini midway through the season: “I haven’t slept for a month and I’m used to the pace, there was a lot of adrenaline. and it was difficult to sleep. Now let’s try to recover a bit. When I arrived, I was a little puzzled, because I did not know Serie D and never did it, but it was a good experience. We had a goal to reach Serie B in three years and in December the goal seemed far away but then we had the intuition to take Baldini and we turned around. In addition to the merit on the field where he does an extraordinary job, he also entered people’s souls and people managed to drag Palermo and we had an important response in those last four games and if we had a 60,000 seat stadium we would fill it up.”

Brunori also your intuition?

“Brunori is a player that I knew and loved, for me at Antell he was not used well because they forced him to play on the street and I saw him as a centre-forward. And he also saw himself in this role, so I convinced him to come here to Palermo. He has done well in that role, he is an important player and I think what is expected of strikers and he is now at the right age to excel and continue to do so.”

What do you expect from the next Serie B?

“I have been in this championship for many years, it is difficult, but we have built a team with an important alchemy that can succeed even in a higher category. Then it’s none of my business, because there are negotiations going on in the clubs that I don’t know the details, but I want Palermo to arrive in Serie A soon. This time it would be a regret to leave as a winner, because there is still work to be done and everything will be Good”.
