Alberto Tonut: I am very close to Peppe Poeta

Alberto Tonut assessed the situation at Olimpia Milano and the position of his son Stefano in an interview with Il Piccolo.

Tonut said he believes Peppe Poeta does not carry the full responsibility for the team's weak start. He added that he supports Poeta both as a person and as a close friend.

According to Tonut, the picture is changing. A high-profile name is coming to take charge of the team, Banchi, whom Tonut reminded is also the head coach of the Italian national team. Tonut said he knows Banchi well and understands the kind of player Stefano is, and he believes there will be a place for Stefano in the new period.
