Aurelio De Laurentiis Praises Lorenzo Casini and Discusses Serie A Autonomy

"I am not aware of Serie A clubs having lost confidence in Casini because they do not have the legal ability to do so. Lorenzo Casini is the best president that the Serie A League has had in the last twenty years, since I have been in football," said Aurelio De Laurentiis at the Niccolò Cusano University in Rome during the inauguration of Race for The Cure, an event symbolizing the fight against breast cancer and the protection of women's health, which the Napoli patron has supported for years. "Casini knows the rules of the state, he is a jurist and is a person prepared for everything, so I am confident that all this puzzle of misunderstandings can be reassembled towards the only path, which is that of the total autonomy of Serie A football. Serie A, we must not forget, is an industry and as an industry must be autonomous and independent," he added. A note also for Gasperini who tonight will play the second leg of the Europa League semi-final and who seems to be among the goals for next summer for the Napoli bench: "I always watch Atalanta's matches with great interest because it has a very good coach, excellent players, and plays very interesting football," concluded De Laurentiis.
