A Radio CRC Raffaele Auriemma spoke during the broadcast “Si Gonfia la Rete” Xerxes Cosmos, former coach of Frederic Massara, approached for the role of new sporting director of the Napoli in the last weeks: “I was lucky enough to meet Massara who was an extraordinary boy and became a man of that level. Maybe I can make mistakes in technical evaluations, but hardly in moral ones.
Massara is a rare bird in football, that's for sure."
“His career as a sports director? I also coached De Zerbi and as footballers they had two completely different characters.
Massara met Sabatini at Arezzo, then he was born as a sports director together with him and he couldn't have found a better one. When I hear coaches and directors who say they don't sleep at night I get very worried".
“They live only for a wonderful profession, but express your qualities only when you are in a serene condition.
Massara is very attentive to personal situations even if he seems introverted and speaks little, but when he speaks he knows how to influence the players. He spoke 4 languages already as a player. He has grown a lot. He is one of the best sports directors and can be comfortable in Napoli".
