Luigi Corioni, Brescia’s longstanding president, has told Sky Sports Italia that he is finally standing down after nearly 20 years involvement with the club.
Speaking to reporters, the 74-year-old businessman said: “My adventure at Brescia has come to an end, whether the team survive in Serie A this season or not. I’ve always wanted to play my part, but the time has come where I have to leave.
“Brescia has become too big for a president so small. What counts is that everyone believes we can stay up. I have been involved with football for more than 40 years now, and I’m getting tired.
“This city deserves a team that can go all the way to the European Cup; I hope the fans’ pride can carry them all the way there.”
Corioni has been at the club since 1992, in which time, Brescia have become Italy’s perennial yo-yo club, being promoted from Serie B on five separate occasions.
Things aren’t looking promising for the Biancoazzuri with five games to go; they currently sit 19th, four points off safety.
