Glories of old were repeated and recaptured at Leeds United under Andrea Radrizzani’s ownership, the Italian has said. Elland Road’s outgoing chairman was speaking in Italy on Wednesday at the unveiling of Andrea Pirlo as Sampdoria head coach.
While Radrizzani’s name technically remains above the door in LS11, his tenure is very much in its final throes as 49ers Enterprises’ takeover is processed. The 48-year-old was absent as United were relegated last month and his attention has seemingly been dominated by the Serie B outfit for some time.
However, he did not miss an opportunity to mention his Leeds legacy in Italy on Wednesday, as reported by Football Italia. As he introduced Pirlo and his reasons for hiring the Azzurri legend, Radrizzani said he would look to restore Sampdoria to their former glories of the 1990s, much in the way he did the same for the Whites.
