The career of the former Juve manager, from his career as a footballer, to the alliance with Marotta, to the Ronaldo affair at the beginning of the crisis
When Fabio Paratici was born – July 13, 1972 – it was the penultimate day of the transfer market that summer. Destiny? Anyone who wants can take it as a sign. Newspaper reports complain that there are too many coaches and players at the Hilton hotel in Milan – home to the “transfer lists” as they are called. The market must be done by the presidents and sporting directors, they say. The volume of business that year is calculated at around ten billion lire, with a sharp slowdown compared to the previous year, when thirteen were spent. Trend reversal: in Serie A there is a tendency to save, times of recession are coming for Italy. The best shots are those of Juventus, which secures Zoff and Altafini from Naples. In Borgonovo Val Tidone – in the province of Piacenza – there are 6,613 inhabitants, plus little Fabio.
