It’s official, after a troubled season that only on the last day led to the hoped-for result, it’s goodbye at the bianconera house. Contract terminated
Exactly 30 years without relegation. But how much suffering was there in the last season of Udinese, which saved itself on the last day, even in a rather lucky way, going on to win on the field of Frosinone? Too much for a team like the Friulian, which meanwhile decided not to continue with Cannavaro, and which terminated another important contract, that of sporting director Federico Balzaretti.
The former Palermo and Roma player, among others, in fact will no longer be a manager of the Pozzo family. This was announced by the club itself in a note that appeared on its official website. Too many risks taken inside a difficult year that had also started well. Unfortunately, when this happens everyone pays, and even Balzaretti since yesterday is a free man without any contract.
Official, Balzaretti separates from Udinese
“Udinese Calcio announces that it has consensually terminated the contract with Head of Technical Area Federico Balzaretti. To him – the note reads – a big thank you for the enthusiasm with which he embarked on this adventure from the first moment he set foot in Udine. Balzaretti immediately stepped into the role with professionalism and to him goes our most sincere thanks for acting always feeling proud to be part of Udinese. “
“It was a difficult season, suffered, lived with emotion until the last breath, but in the end we made it. I would like to ideally embrace all of Udinese: the Pozzo family, general manager Collavino, the Coaches, staff members, players and all areas of the club. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the fans and all of Udine for the support and passion. I wish everyone a great future.” Instead, these are the words of Balzaretti, who as we read has terminated his contract by mutual consent. For him there will be a new adventure, but at the moment it is not known where he might go.
