If there are no substantial changes on the negotiation front between Cagliari and Claudio Ranieri , surprisingly comes the most important endorsement for the Great Return: that of Gigi Riva. «He's one of ours, he just needs to have the strength and enthusiasm to accept his new rossoblù challenge».
In a brief telephone conversation with Unionesarda.it , it was the number 11 forever who spoke a little while ago: «For a coach of his crest, Cagliari is a challenge that is worth facing. Ranieri has already been here, he achieved great results because he brought the team to Serie A from Serie C and even saved it. But he must be the first to have enthusiasm and be able to pass it on to the environment».
For the rossoblù and Italian football legend, Sir Claudio is the solution : «The team just needs to get back on track, maybe it needs to regain some self-respect. I don't see a group in trouble, as some tend to define Cagliari. Ranieri can manage to restore enthusiasm among the people and because – I repeat – he is one of ours. I understand that we are dealing with a complex negotiation, on which it is not right to interfere, but I would very much like you to return ».
After Riva, also Ninnino Orrù, vice president of the years of Ranieri rossoblù (the president was his brother Tonino), is confident in a return . And, addressing Ranieri directly, he says: «Claudio, you have to choose, I can only tell you that we are waiting for you».
