Verona, 23 August 2021 – Il Chievo Verona no longer exists, but today theFC Chievo 1929. Sergio Pellissier, historic team captain of the neighborhood of Verona, has decided to “save” what for many years has been his home club. To do this he had to refound it from scratch, after the Chievo that we had all come to know in the last two decades has disappeared due to bankruptcy. “I don’t give up anything, that’s not all – he has declared Pellissier between the columns of “L’Arena” – I try, for the Chievo I can’t give up in the face of the first difficulties. I have my own club: FC Chievo 1929, affiliation was the first step to take. “
A move that no one would have ever expected, but that avoids disappearance of a team that for years has made the 4500 inhabitants of the small Veronese district live a dream in which it was born, next to the city rival ofHellas. “We will need to time and backups, this is clear. I have tried to work in emergency – continues Pellissier – with contacts, solidity, sponsors, entrepreneurs and travel companions. I didn’t succeed today, but tomorrow is a new day“The new company will start from the slums, from amateurism, but this does not matter to the eternal Aosta Valley captain: “It doesn’t matter where, it is essential to start again, whether third or second category. Start with Series D it would have been the top, a step under professionalism to immediately try to make a leap forward “.
