"Orlena Invest", which belongs to the Volpi Group, has decided to withdraw from the world of football. And the future of Arzachena is now all to be drawn. But what happened? Surely the fans fear a future without certainties. Maurizio Felugo, the man who Gabriele Volpi, the Ligurian entrepreneur with important interests in oil logistics Gabriele Volpi, announced that he will not be interested in Arzachena, after he led them to the playoffs for C for two seasons.

Water polo player, author of world gold and Olympic silver with the cap of the Italian national team, president of Pro Recco and for a short time of Arzachena. The group he represents (the "Orlena Invest" in fact), after the Spezia has also decided to leave Arzachena.

The effects of this news were immediate: the coach Marco Nappi (former Serie A footballer), immediately resigned, with the sportsmen waiting to know the future of their team. An ending that no one expected.

«They have been important years, full of competitive satisfactions, if we think - said Felugo - even only of the last playoffs played at the highest levels. However, the contribution given to the entire Arzachena area remains in our hearts, thanks - obviously - to the management of the first team, but in some respects even more through the commitment in the youth sector of the club".

For the Orlean Invest group, the time has come to end its experience in football. «The decision to make the sports title and the management of Arzachena Calcio available to anyone who wants to continue the activity in Serie D», says Felugo, «is the result of the strategic choice of the group to leave all the activities connected to this world . Two years ago we finalized the sale of Spezia Calcio, after the historic result of the promotion to Serie A, now we consider our commitment to Serie D with the Gallurese club finished".

"Orlean Invest" has invested over three and a half million euros in recent seasons, not only for the competitive purposes associated with the activity of the first team, but also in a significant commitment to infrastructure, starting with the renovation of the pitch 'Arzachena. "An economic effort supported - specifies the president - exclusively by the ownership of the club, which has allowed the creation of an asset that is bequeathed and available to the entire community of Arzachena. I also specify that the company is perfectly healthy, it has no debts and is a jewel in terms of economic and financial management: whoever takes over will be in the best possible conditions to plan the future Even more important for the Orlean group is the commitment made over the years in favor of young people, which we absolutely intend to confirm In fact, if we cease management of the first team with immediate effect - confident that we will soon be able to identify who wants to continue on this path - we want to reassure all the families in the Arzachena and Costa Smeralda area that nothing will be affected in favor of the activity of children and young people".

In short, Orlean Invest does not totally hold back. He ends his commitment with the first team, "but confirms and reiterates his commitment to continuing the training of young people, through an ad hoc Academy that will take care of all aspects: mums, dads and kids can rest assured".
