Bari is called to focus exclusively on the programming of the next season, in Serie C. After the departures of Moreno Longo and Valerio Di Cesare, the priority of the society is to rebuild the sports area and identify the figures that will guide the restart from Serie C. In this context, the name of Pierpaolo Marino continues to occupy a prominent position in the evaluations of SSC Bari. Marino is carefully examining the proposal received from Filmauro. It is not a simple evaluation related to the appointment or economic aspects, but a broader reflection on the project that the society intends to develop in the next years in Puglia. The director wants to understand what will be the objectives of the new course, the organization of the sports area and the degree of autonomy that could have in the construction of the team and future strategies together with new figures of the technical area. The former director of Napoli, Udinese and Atalanta believes it is essential to have a clear framework before taking any decision. The reconstruction phase that awaits Bari will require important choices and a shared vision among all the components of the club. Another aspect under examination concerns the criticisms that a part of the fans continues to address to the ownership. The director would not be particularly touched by the voices that associate him with De Laurentiis or that describe him as a figure close to the current governance of the club. His reflections would be related to the technical project and the prospects that Bari can offer in the medium and long term. After having chosen to remain firm in the last years, despite several proposals received, the director would be willing to return to the pitch only in front of a project considered really convincing. Among the aspects that are making the proposal particularly interesting is also the charm of the white and black square. Despite the relegation, Bari continues to represent one of the most important realities of Italian football for following, tradition and potential, at least in the ideas of the director. The possibility of participating in the rebirth of the club and contributing to an ambitious project is an element that stirs Marino and is taken into great consideration in his reflections. In this perspective, it would not represent an obstacle even the possibility of starting from Serie C, provided that the right conditions are found to build an ambitious and lasting path. The contacts between the parties continue and the name of the director remains among the hottest for the future club setup. The next days could provide more precise indications, but one thing is clear: Marino is seriously evaluating the opportunity Bari, attracted by the project and the weight of a square that preserves a strong appeal in the national football landscape despite living years full of failures.
