Cesena has Bisoli back: "I never had any doubts about my choice."

Cesena kicks off its new football season with the first presentation at the Manuzzi Orogel Stadium, in the silent presence of sporting director Filippo Fusco . Massimo Agostini introduces the first two new arrivals, Dimitri Bisoli and Matteo Guidi : "Dimitri returns after growing up in our youth teams; it was a major opportunity that the owners jumped at. We're happy to have him back. Fusco did an incredible job because there were other major contenders after Bisoli. The same goes for Guidi; there were also major clubs after him. He's a versatile player, and he'll be very useful."

A word from Dimitri Bisoli , son of Pierpaolo, the most successful coach in Cavalluccio's history. "I wanted to thank the club for this opportunity, which I strongly desired to seize. I'm proud and happy, although I'll never forget those nine extraordinary years at Brescia. My present and future are Cesena; I'm available to the coach, the group, and the team, which is full of promising young players. Cesena has had a great season; I've always followed them, and I believe that, as a newly promoted team, reaching the playoffs was an extraordinary achievement." So far, the past: last season, the satisfaction of securing early survival, and the playoffs. Now we look ahead. "Exactly. What happened up until June no longer matters. We need to start from scratch with the same enthusiasm I saw at the start of last season after promotion from Serie C. Serie B is a very difficult and unforgiving league. Why Cesena? I felt very appreciated by director Fusco. I didn't think I was worth so much, but his words convinced me. Feeling the affection in a modern game where sentiments don't matter and where enthusiasm and desire are key. I had no doubts about the choice."

He has a girlfriend from Gambettola who was doing great in Brescia. "Finding a place in Cesena isn't easy, for now I live in my parents' attic in Cesenatico. I've fulfilled a dream. I support Brescia because of what their fans have given me. But my father made history for this club; I saw all the important matches for Cesena's promotion, I was in Piacenza, in Latina." Your secret dream is to have your father back as coach, obviously not taking anything away from Mister Mignani? "My father has always been a role model for me, an idol, a point of reference. I was lucky enough to be coached by him at Brescia, I even scored goals and ran to hug him. Is it a secret dream? Of course, even if it's not easy being coached by your own father."
