He made his Serie A debut in 2019 in Ferrara against Spal taking over from Jankto, just him, and the coach of that Sampdoria, where he then played for four years, was Ranieri.
From Genoa to Cagliari, the circle closes for Tommaso Augello, strongly desired by the rossoblù club and in particular by the Testaccio coach who launched him on the big stage after a long apprenticeship, which began in Serie D.
"The fact that the coach wanted me is a source of pride," admits the 28-year-old Milanese left-back, one of Cagliari's new faces, in his first press conference in Châtillon. “If I am the player I am, I owe it to him. He believed in me right away and helped me grow. I respect him very much, even from a human point of view.
Outspoken, energetic, Augello wants to raise the bar and doesn't mince words: «I'm coming from a very difficult season. After the relegation with Sampdoria, Cagliari could represent a turning point for my career». He doesn't feel the pressure given the experience, far from it. «I have the right experience», he points out, «to face a great challenge. And I feel I can take on this responsibility."
