As part of FC Fortina's centenary celebrations, held at the end of August, former coach Alberto Malesani participated in the event, presenting a unique story about his day as a fan of the club. Malesani, who coached the team in the 1997-98 season, when it was under the presidency of Vittorio Cecchi Gori, and happened to have a group of distinguished players such as Gabriel Batistuta, Francisco Toldo and Manuel Rui Costa, decided to take an unconventional path compared to the other historical legends invited to the celebration.

“I wanted to live a day as a fan, which was what I was missing,” Malesani said. “I arrived by train to Santa Maria Novella station, preferring that to the car, and took the opportunity to walk around the city, reminiscing about the places I visited when I worked there. Then I walked towards the stadium.”

During his walk, Malesani was subjected to a wave of love and respect from the fans, as he was recognized by about a hundred fans of Forentina, who accompanied him to the Frankie stadium, singing songs dedicated to him.

But the climax of the story came during his meeting with his former players who had arrived from Viola Park, and at the risk of missing the train back to Verona. "I waited for the players who came from Viola Park. But in the end, I had the train back to Verona at 21:17, while we were still entering the stadium at 20:50. I was there with Batistuta and Toldo and told them that I needed to leave so as not to miss the train."

When he had difficulty reaching Santa Maria Novella station due to traffic congestion caused by tram operations, the intervention of the fans was decisive, with one fan suggesting the use of the only means of transport that allows easy movement in Florence: the motorbike!

“A fan helped me and took me on the motorcycle quickly to Santa Maria Novella station, enabling me to catch the train on time,” he said.

This incident reflects the strong emotional relationship between the fans, the team, and Malesani as a coach. His statements reflect the image of a real man, far from the clichés associated with modern football. His relationship with his former team, especially with Rui Costa, went beyond a professional relationship, as it was based on mutual human appreciation. Even at the height of his success, Malesani never stopped considering himself an ordinary person. His choice to travel to Florence alone, hitchhike among people, and accept a motorbike ride from a stranger perfectly describes the essence of the unconventional, humble and honest coach. It is his absence of pride and arrogance that makes him, in the eyes of Florence fans and football fans, “one of us”.

What's next?

Fortina's management is expected to continue strengthening ties with club legends such as Malesani and Batistuta, which could positively impact next season. These celebrations may also open the way for more events that bring together fans and the club.
