Trento, Oct. 10 (LaPresse) – “The balance of these 20 years is positive, I’ve had fun. They’ve been 20 years of passion, with both good and bad moments. I would do it again. But I won’t stay at Torino for life: for sure, it cannot go into the hands of people who don’t guarantee the numbers and the history of the club. I’ve always tried to do what’s best for the team, even though there are some who criticize me. But there are also many people telling me to keep going. I’ve invested 72 million euros of my own money into Torino. When I took over, I increased the share capital: from 200,000 euros to 10 million because we needed to do a transfer campaign. I remember what Torino was like in 2005 when I took over in the middle of the season. Football was already expensive back then, but that’s football.” This is what Urbano Cairo, president and CEO of RCS MediaGroup, said in a conversation with Aldo Cazzullo at the Sports Festival in Trento, ongoing until Sunday.
