La Salernitana is already safe, and with her the credibility of Serie A. The Italian league avoided in extremis playing the second round with one less team thanks to the offer of the Neapolitan businessman Danilo Iervolino, accepted by the trustees of the club, which now no longer belongs to Claudio Lotito, also owner of Lazio.
The regulations prevented the same person from owning two teams in a championship and there was time until December 31 to fix the situation. Iervolino, 43, was the founder of the Pegaso Telematics University with just 28 (which transferred to the CVC fund for 1,000 million euros), and took the southern team for 10 ‘kilos’, plus about twenty that you will use for expenses until the end of the course and possibly for the market.
“I will do everything so that La Salernitana stays in Serie A”, said the businessman, “in each project I always put all my illusion, this time I will do the same. I am in love with this city, I will bet on young people and on the growth of the club.” On Monday Iervolino will sign the documents that will officially make him the new owner of the team, and immediately he will get down to work to reform his directive and reinforce it.
The presence of Ribéry in the squad did not prevent a disastrous first round, which the granatas closed as bottoms of Calcio. Salvation is very complicated, but it is eight points away: with a good streak, fighting to the end will be possible. The first goal in the new age of Salernitana it will be this.
