Former Lazio President http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030 Cragnotti has praised Alessandro Nesta’s decision to part company with the Rossoneri, and has paid tribute to the centre-back for his extraordinary career.
The 36-year-old recently announced his decision to leave the club, despite being offered a contract by the Devils, and suggested that American Major League Soccer could be his next destination.
The declaration brought an end to the centre-back’s two-decade long affair with Italian football, during which he won 19 major honours at club, and international level.
Cragnotti worked closely with Nesta at Lazio, and saw the player grow from a young professional to the club captain, and later an illustrious figure in Italian football.
The former Lazio chief insisted that he remembers the defender as one of the most dependable assets during his time at the club. The executive recalled that it was Dino Zoff, who included him in his team, and stated that although the Rossoneri defender was
quite young at that time, there was no hiding the tremendous talent held by the centre-back.
While talking to the press, the Italian entrepreneur said:
“http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dino-c11319 Zoff took him into the first time in 1993-94 and although he was very young you could already see he was a great talent. He contributed to building a great club.”
The former Aquile executive went on to praise Nesta’s dedication to his game, and hailed the Rossoneri defender as one of the champions of Italian football. The former President insisted that his decision to sell the full-back to AC Milan was due to financial
reasons, and stated that despite the transfer, the player maintained a strong affiliation to the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 jersey.
Cragnotti stated that Nesta’s decision to bid a timely farewell to the Diavolo is the choice of a great professional, and insisted that the Rossoneri player was right to move elsewhere, rather than wait for a definitive decline from the Milan outfit.
