Precious: "I will not buy the Salernitana"

"La Salernitana? Absolutely not, I will never enter football again. I also received a phone call, but I say no". Enrico Preziosi denied to Radio Rai the rumors of his possible purchase of Salernitana circulated in recent days immediately after the sale of Genoa to the American fund 777 Partners. "The new owners are young people who have an important financial situation, are reliable and this was the most important thing - added the now former Rossoblù patron - I had wanted to sell for three years and this is a very respectable company. Genoa's future is armored ". However, the former president will remain linked to the oldest club in Italy. "Whoever bought 100% of the company has the right to decide, the owners will decide but by contract I have a seat on the board,which does not mean that I will have decision-making power. I will have a proxy in the activities. "For three years now, Preziosi had been trying to sell the club, also hit by a long and heavy dispute, but until the arrival of 777 Partners he had not found suitable interlocutors. Now, as he himself explains, things have changed. "I made mistakes but also 15 years in Serie A. Some efforts have been made, maybe I could have done more but maybe even worse. I left the club in safe hands, I can't please everyone. I hope that whoever is here today can do better - he explained -. The era of patron presidents is over, now the clubs are real companies. They will have to deal with Italian laws, they will need stadiums of ownership and the budgets will have to be positive,trying to enhance the product and then maybe sell it again ".
