Iliad, which has been an innovation and technology partner of Serie A for three years, held a discussion with legendary figure Leonardo Bonucci, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Bonucci first spoke about his new life as a retired player: "I'm slowly adapting and discovering new things, which is quite interesting. Visiting the VAR center made me very curious. I will participate in some interesting activities while continuing to learn. My dream is to become a head coach one day."
Bonucci discussed the past and present. "I like to see defenders nowadays trying to organize attacks; in a way, I feel like a pioneer. Playing in midfield during my youth training helped me a lot, and now many center-backs have this characteristic.
Bastoni is the one most similar to me. He went through a difficult period after Zenica, and I told him that in some situations, it's important to set new goals for yourself and not dwell on what's happening around you. Bastoni has made great progress in leadership and communication, and under Mancini's new cycle, he has restarted as a key player."
The loss in Bosnia and Herzegovina was tough for everyone: "After returning to Italy, I asked my wife to take the children to the mountains for three days because I needed some time alone at home," Leo continued. "Fortunately, Mancini was very effective at clearing away the shadows of the past and quickly built an enthusiastic team."
He then briefly answered a few questions: "Inter are favorites to win the league title; in the Champions League, Barcelona and PSG are ahead of everyone. My future? I realized I wanted to be a coach when I was 30. One day I want to manage Juventus, and who knows, maybe even the national team. I will be a coach who emphasizes playing style, but I will also be very results-oriented when needed..."
