After the Torres, the Temple. Salvatore Sechi has left his love for red and blue colors by marrying his affection for the Gallettis. Vice-president of the Sassari club from 1999 to 2006 (at the time the shareholders were the president Rinaldo Carta, he and Peppino Sechi), 57 years old, entrepreneur in the industrial plant procurement sector, in 2016 he bought Tergu and rebuilt the Torres freshman .
One season was enough for him to bring the club back from Excellence to D, where he left it before selling it to the Abinsula group two years ago. Almost at the same time he bought the Temple, which he would now like to bring to Excellence. "When I refounded Torres, the name of the club was lost," says Sechi proudly. “I could have not done it, but I had to because nobody lifted a finger. I thank the fans of the curve, disinterested soul of the fate of Torres, because they have always been close to me. I see a close and hopeful curve even now in Tempio».
Why Gallettos?
«After the reconstruction of the last Torres, my intention was to return to my sport, aeromodelling. However, a friend asked me if I could use the sports organization set up at Torres in the Temple. I have always had an excellent relationship with the Gallura club, which played in the first category. I immediately managed to bring it to Promotion through the repechage».
Is the Promotion the basis for a relaunch?
"It's a category I didn't know about. But I see interesting things. Last season the team was made in a hurry, we played until the last moment the jump in category with Calangianus. Now we are first and we hope to go to Excellence, even if the championship still has many pitfalls».
How much of torresino is still in her?
«I am from Sassari in ciabi , thoroughbred. My colors have always been red and blue and always will be. Now, however, my interests are all aimed at the Temple».
Have you ever gone to the "Vanni Sanna" to see the team?
"No. Among other things, it is natural and right that the responsibility lies with the new owners. I do not exclude it in the future, but I repeat, now I hope to bring the Temple to Excellence. As I have rebuilt the Torres, I would like to do the same with the Temple».
You were vice president when Torres brushed against the B.
«It was the early 2000s, we lost the key match against Ascoli. That eleven had the team motivation and technical skills to go to B, Torres is the one who has seen the cadetteria more closely. Perhaps she was even stronger than Zola's Torres. In 1987 I went to the corner when Gianfranco was playing with us, but the team was all centered on him. Karassavidis, Langella, Amoruso formed a group with widespread strength and stronger awareness. They really aspired to Serie B».
Category that even the current company, albeit on tiptoe and in perspective, claims to want to pursue.
«One thing I learned in football: you don't get anywhere with proclamations. I got the victories with good teams but not built to win. When you start with the underdogs, on the contrary, there are always difficulties. I also say this in reference to my Temple: the championship is still to be played for».
In conclusion, any advice for your “successors” at Torres?
"I don't want to give advice to anyone, but a good manager looks to the future with his feet on the ground."
