Just as in Dimaro Folgarida, Antonio Conte also wanted to introduce his staff in Castel di Sangro. In front of a large crowd in Piazza Plebiscito, the Italian coach was welcomed triumphantly.
When communications chief Nicola Lombardo called the coach on stage, the chant began: "Olè, olè, olè, mister, mister." Conte was visibly moved. "Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart," Conte underlined. "As I've always said, I'm getting a lot before I do anything.
I have to try to repay all this warmth.
You are an incredible people. I don't say this to flatter you.
If I say something it is because I think it. We must be proud to represent you and give you so much joy.
You can rest assured about this because we will give it our all."
Conte did not want to forget the tragedy in Scampia last Monday, in which three people lost their lives and others were injured.

Conte then introduced his staff composed of Elvis Abbruscato, Gianluca Conte, Costantino Coratti, Mauro Sandreani, Tiberio Ancora, Lele Oriali, Lopez, Giglio, Cacciapuoti, De Felice and Ettore Prota.
"The mister," Oriali admitted, "He specified that I'm not part of the staff but I'm the coordinator of the staff and the management of the first team. And I'm happy to accept it." Oriali guaranteed.
"I am lucky enough to feel your warmth.
We will honor you, the city and the company. We will put in maximum effort to achieve the goals.
I've never had a welcome like this."
