The Gigliati are expected today at 3pm from the Champions League match in bologna, his representative Stefano Citterio on the bench.
« All of Fiorentina, the Commisso family, Rocco, Catherine and Joseph, the team and the club rally around Raffaele and convey from the bottom of our hearts condolences on the death of your mother Rosa», says the Viola club in a note.
>He wanted me to be a danceras they did, and I was quite good too: I also took part in competitions with my cousin. More than anything it was a way to keep me under control and off the streets, to do better in school».Rather, it was his father, Guglielmo, who came to play in serie C with Sambenedettese, who pushed him towards football.
In fact, Mrs. rosa was quite against it: «One day he went to my school to talk to the teachersI: I wasn’t doing very well, actually, I was a disaster to be honest. That was the result he didn’t want me to play football anymore». And she chose the ballroom dance courses she herself attended. Then the change of direction, with the agreement of her father, and with the affection of Palladino remembered that he repeated to her «You didn’t want me to play football!», and that she he admitted “It could be the biggest mistake of my life”.
Instead, his career reached Serie A and the move to Serie A Game Juventus Primavera in 2002, when he was 18 years old. Here we go back to the current coach’s words released to the team’s official magazine: «She didn’t want it, as there were also other teams, more “in the area”, interested in me — Palladino comes from mugnano di Napoli —: Roma, Lecce, Bari… but when the offer came from Juventus, I couldn’t refuse.In fact, the move was a bit traumatic for her, given the distance.”
Every month and a half or so he stopped by the house to visit her: «She is jealous and he wouldn’t want me to fight – he said – Then I always tell her she’s my girlfriend».
Of course, the coach also received condolences from his opponent and former club, Monza.
