Serie A2. Mutual resolution. Orlandi leaves Rotellistica

Like a bolt from the blue. There is no better expression to talk about the end of the relationship between Alberto Orlandi , Camaiore Roller Skating. In fact, since yesterday, the coach who had brought the team of president Matteo Crudeli to the final of Coppa Italia (lost last Saturday against Thiene 2-0), as well as in the top positions of the standings in A2, is no longer the coach of Camaiore. "The company has in fact communicated that "after a meeting between the company and the coach, it was decided by mutual agreement to end the sporting relationship. The technical guidance has been entrusted to Elijah Guidi". It is logical to think that the most recent negative results have weighed - the last success dated February 26 (8-3 against Matera in the Coppa Italia semi-final) and then two defeats in the direct clashes of the championship against Pumas and Castiglione. Orlandi does not shy away and tries to justify the choice "taken - he confirms - by mutual agreement". "Monday evening - he continues - I had a meeting with the management. Each of us took stock of the situation and in the end we agreed to separate. I take my blame, but I confirm that I would do everything I have done in these 5 months again, in which the team has always fought at the top, accusing a decline, more mental than physical, in the last month. I hope that some players do the same and find the determination of the beginning of the season. This squad remains competitive to aim for promotion to Serie A1". Orlandi, in a year and a half on the bench, has always fought for the top positions, but evidently with the additions of Motaran, Taiti and Ballestero the club expected even more. Guidi returns to the bench, an internal solution: coach in the youth sector, knowledgeable about the environment and head coach until 2023. He will lift the team's morale to play for the championship in the last 5 days, starting with the home match against Sarzana, and in the playoffs. "I wish Elia and the boys, many of whom have written to me showing their support, all the luck. The season is not over, nor compromised - Orlandi concludes -. I hope to be able to get back on track. It doesn't matter where, as long as it's a serious project. Hockey is my life and I think I've gained experience".
