The great return to Sassari of the sporting director who is inspired by the Spanish Monchi “I made mistakes but now I feel ripe to restart at high levels”

SASSARI. Important steps for the new Torres branded Abinsula, which after defining the corporate and technical ranks has formalized the registration to the Serie D championship and is now proceeding with the first purchases. The rossoblù group is being born and the keys to this delicate work are entrusted to Andrea Colombino, a return to the Torresina home after the experience as sporting director a few years ago culminating in the playoffs for the Lega Pro, lost with Olbia: « I try again with renewed enthusiasm, after the beautiful season spent in Carbonia. I had several proposals but I decided with the heart, I go back to Torres more mature and with a different awareness in facing this new adventure, which aims at a top championship. We do not hide, we aim for an important goal ».

Forty-year-old, from Sassari, a past in the Torresine youth teams with ball boy brackets in the first team matches, which he is now called to build in agreement with the club chaired by Udassi and with the former Lanusei coach Alfonso Greco “chosen according to a meritocratic criterion – says the diesse – because it works well and knows how to value young people ». At the age of twenty Andrea had a fixation on the managerial role, an idea cultivated after he stopped playing to study business economics at Bocconi in Milan, casually starting as an observer in the north for an equally young Sardinian, mister Ninni Corda. As a graduate of the prestigious university, he directed his professional career in the context of his studies, teaching mathematics in various technical institutes in Sassari. But the professor finally succumbed to the charm of that ball he never stopped thinking about, making it become an all-encompassing commitment to be reconciled with the needs of the family. A life partner, Ilaria, and a very cuddled 4-year-old girl, Ludovica, “who luckily forgive me for always being on the phone and not having working hours, without their support it would be hard”. An open character, which facilitates the emergence of lasting friendships in a world that is often not very transparent like that of football: “If I really have to mention the names of my closest friends, I say Marco Sanna and Pietro Rubino” reveals Colombino, who does not say anything about “enemies. “but he admits he also made mistakes in his journey as a diesse:” The experience he interrupted early with Sweet Milk a few years ago still burns, but no repentance because you learn by making mistakes and even negative experiences are still formative “. In the plans there is the professional course (“I am inspired by the Spanish manager ex Roma Monchi, now at Sevilla, for his working method”) among the passions outside the field there are reading and cooking: “Let’s just say that I am the house cook – he proudly recognizes – I get along well with first courses and even desserts ».

Now he is looking for the right ingredients to create a beautiful Torres, which will whet the palate of a disappointed supporter: «Let’s look at the local guys, without neglecting the talents of the peninsula. Some players have already arrived and in the next few days we will announce others ».
