Benevento, Mastella defends Vigorito: "He is the cornerstone of our football"

The mayor of Benevento , Clemente Mastella , takes a stand in defense of the owner of Benevento Calcio, Oreste Vigorito , firmly rejecting the climate of growing protest against him.

In an official statement, Mastella emphasized the entrepreneur's importance to the club's history and future, urging everyone to unite rather than fuel tensions. "There is a growing climate of protest, if not outright hostile opposition, against the ownership of Benevento Calcio and its patron Oreste Vigorito, both in real and virtual circles. I firmly disagree with this ," the mayor stated, acknowledging the legitimacy of the sports criticism, but reiterating that the true pillar of football in Benevento is and must remain Vigorito.

The disappointment of a second half of the season that fell short of expectations—after a brilliant winter championship title—can't overshadow the indelible merits of a president who has invested passionately and achieved unimaginable results. "Support is not a gala dinner, I know that well, but a history of extraordinary successes cannot be erased or forgotten because of a few contingent difficulties," adds Mastella, emphasizing that no other entrepreneur could guarantee investments equal to Vigorito 's for Benevento football.
