Football, Buffon bids farewell to Spalletti: ‘Thank you for your work with the national team’

Turin, June 17 (LaPresse) – “Dear Luciano, I chose to wait a few days to avoid writing in the heat of the moment, but I wanted to publicly and personally thank you for your work over the past years as head coach of the national team.”
Thus begins Gianluigi Buffon's post on social media addressed to former coach Luciano Spalletti.

“You faced this challenge with passion, competence, and a great sense of responsibility, during a delicate moment for Italian football. Without ever losing sight of your vision and the humanity that has always accompanied you,” adds the head of delegation of the Italian national team, who chose to share a photo with Spalletti, both smiling on the pitch, to accompany his message of thanks.

“We shared beautiful moments and others more difficult, but always with the utmost respect and the awareness that we were serving a mission that goes beyond the pitch and a jersey that represents our Italy.
Best of luck for your future, both personal and professional.”
