"Grandpa let's take a selfie come on" ... "WHAT SHOULD WE DO?".
To ', who sees again. And how nice to see you again, Sor Magara , a name that was given to him for the joke with which he replied to the journalist who asked him if his Catanzaro would be able to stop Juve the following Sunday. It meant, in Romanesco, «maybe it was».
Carletto Mazzone returns to social media. Together with his nephew, Alessio Lancianese, who manages his official Facebook page with almost 188,000 contacts and his Instagram profile with 111,000. He appears in great shape: an elderly but distinguished gentleman, who - judging by what his nephew reported in the post, where the hashtags #hurrahnonni and #leggenda are also set - has not lost his taste for jokes with the typical Capitoline inflection.
Mazzone is the last coach who, in the first year of presidency of Cellino, led Cagliari to the UEFA Cup. And with which, for the first time in his career, he was relegated to Serie B after a bloody playoff with Piacenza, whose headquarters, Naples, continued to go wrong until recently.
He is the coach who launched Totti in Rome. And in Bologna, where he won the Intertoto, he revitalized Beppe Signori. Furthermore, in Brescia, he trained Guardiola in the profession (to certify it is the person concerned) and facilitated the second youth of Roberto Baggio. Let's stop here, because he has done many other things. Including coaching Claudio Ranieri in Catanzaro.
Today Carletto Mazzone is 85 years old and lives in Ascoli, the city where he ended his career as a player, came close to Europe as a coach at the time of the Rozzi presidency and where a grandstand in the stadium was named after him. The years go by, but the irony of iconic characters like Sor Magara is missing - and not a little - in Italian football. But, not by chance, we are talking about a legend.
