Alberto Aquilani and Catanzaro are parting ways, but will remain connected forever. A visceral love, born from a relationship cultivated over an extraordinary season for the Calabrian team, who were stopped only by Monza in the playoff final. A step away from Serie A. On social media, the former coach of Fiorentina's Primavera did not hide his emotion in saying goodbye to the yellow-red crowd, dedicating a long farewell message. He is waiting for Sassuolo. So Alberto Aquilani on his official Instagram account: 'I don't think there are the right words to say goodbye, because I don't think it's possible to really explain what we've lived in this season. A journey so intense, reckless, full of emotions that still shake me. We arrived at a step away from the dream, driven by the passion of a magnificent people with whom we became a single body. An authentic bond that gave us hope until the last second. And in the pain of having stopped a centimeter from the finish line, there remains the pride of what we built together: a wonderful human adventure, as well as a sporting one. Everything has been perfectly in place: a fantastic team, which has embraced an idea and cultivated it with confidence and enthusiasm, always, even in difficult moments, even with stronger opponents on paper. Who has been able to find and then maintain the difficult balance between humility and ambition. Capable of dreaming while keeping their feet on the ground. Serious boys and players with a huge heart, to whom I owe a lot. A competent, passionate, and always present society. Led by the romanticism of President Noto and supported by the vision of Ciro Polito, a director of immense talent but also a special person who knows how to take care of others and create an environment of great values. A fan base that has transformed every match into a sentimental communion between team and territory, who have accompanied and supported us everywhere, making us feel the weight and privilege of being part of a story that goes beyond the simple victory or defeat.
