Mister Canzi happy for the confirmation: “I want to continue the unfinished path, I haven’t even managed to experience the city”
OLBIA. Let’s put it this way: they took each other. Olbia discovered the Canzi character and the coach found himself very well on the white bench, perhaps better than he expected. With these premises, the renewal seemed a formality. Instead it took a few more days, the time to give rise to suppositions and questions. But silenced after a while. Max Canzi is still the Olbia coach for another year.
Still in Olbia. In the meantime, some other offers had arrived, the coach explained, “but I said that the priority for me was Olbia and therefore I wanted to speak with the club first.” It brings home a renewal wanted by practically everyone. After a 13th place with an exciting finish and a bitter aftertaste for the faded playoffs. For Canzi it was the first experience as a coach on a professional bench, behind a decade-long career in minor leagues; but also a lot of Serie A and B as deputy to Beretta, De Canio, Maran, Zenga. In Olbia “it was a season without an audience, so without applause and whistles, I owed me another year – again at the renewal conference – and then there is a path left unfinished to continue”.
No regrets. Max Canzi is a character with whom it is easy to empathize. Ironic, quotationist, with many interests. For music, for trips with his motorbike. «Well, in Olbia I was left with the shot in the barrel – comments his experience in Gallura -, I was not able to experience the city as I would have liked, but basically it is because not even the city has lived. Next year will be different ». During the interviews of these weeks, some players asked: «do we know something about the coach? Remains?”. The right alchemy was found with the group. «Some message has arrived, in the next few days I will call everyone. I didn’t do it before because I still didn’t have anything to say under the sporting aspect, I preferred to wait. I had an excellent relationship with the “senators”, as well as with those who did not play. In football it is normal to have a good relationship with those who always play, but having it also with those on the bench is important, it means there is appreciation ». Looking at the playoff rounds, he says that “Olbia suited us well. Then we would have arrived at high speed given the finale. But with the “ifs” and with the “buts” … since we tried and we didn’t succeed, I have no regrets. One of the few things I’ve learned is that it’s always better to have remorse than regret. ‘
Opinions. Football seen from the outside, Serie A: «exciting, the Champions League fight and for salvation proved it. It’s nice when a championship is played like this until the end ». Then the question of the season, the Superleague: “On the one hand I think like most people, on the other I can also understand the big clubs that do business, and that their turnover is different if they play against Manchester United or against Olbia ». If he has to mention a coach in particular, Canzi opts for «Bielsa. It has always intrigued me, because I believe it manages to combine the relational aspect with the tactical one. Football is beautiful because there is not just one way to be a coach ». He talks about Mourinho’s great communication skills, of which he quotes a sentence in particular: “Whoever knows only about football knows nothing about football”, in his players he seeks and appreciates what is beyond the pitch. Meanwhile, after the renewal, the Olbia coach flew to Milan and will return to the island in July when there will be a retreat to be planned and a season to begin.
