Agent: S-Esposito wants to go to Cagliari, but if I don t agree, I have to listen to me

October 7th S-Esposito's agent Mario Giuffreddy talked about the players' transfer this summer, Florence's dilemma, talent training and other topics.

S-Esposito received a lot of invitations this summer, but he eventually left Inter and joined Cagliari. Negotiations began in June, and then Parma intervened and competed until the last moment before we decided our final destination. Our job is to respect the players' wishes, and at the time about Sebastiano's strong desire to go to Cagliari, we fulfilled his wishes. If I agree with the player's choice, I will meet the player's requirements; if I don't agree with the player's choice, the player must obey my arrangements, not his own. It's like the coach may be intervened by the club president when hiring people, and so do I. If the player's choice is recognized, I will avoid disputes, otherwise, for the sake of the player's interests, I will argue with him.

Fiorentina started the season poorly, and only scored 3 points in the first 6 rounds of Serie A. To be honest, I didn't expect it. Because Fiorentina invited an important coach this summer and made important signings, I didn't expect to encounter the second worst season start in club history. But this does not mean that Fiorentina cannot face it positively. Sometimes it only takes one game to change the whole season, and maybe the next game against Milan will be a turning point. The current start should not make the team lose their optimism and confidence. Fiorentina has an excellent coach, a serious management team, and high-level players, and I am still optimistic about them.

How can the football system cultivate new talents?

First, the club president must do better, the chairman is the club's leader, and they are responsible for selecting competent managers. Many chairmen nowadays tend to choose managers who are suitable for themselves rather than managers who are suitable for clubs. The chairman wants to deal with the problem himself, but what they should do is choose the managers who are suitable for the club and let them do their jobs. Some chairmen are not capable enough, and they will not decide on managers based on their abilities, which is exactly the reality of our football.

In addition, we lack courage, from coaches to managers. Everyone only cares about the results of the game, but they must have more courage to give young players a chance to play. It is this kind of courage that brings achievements and does things that others dare not do. Courage is a quality that our football lacks. Everyone is afraid of being judged, being fired, and being the real self.

What do you want to do in the future?

I am 49 years old this year. I have been in contact with football since I was a child, but I already feel that my energy is being consumed because I have encountered many difficulties. I will try to enjoy another 5 or 6 years of agency career, and after that I hope to become a club manager. Many of the players I have in Serie A signed when they are still playing in Serie B or even Serie C. I have proved my courage, and as a manager I hope to show this the same. The manager I always admire the most? Sabatini.
