Former Fiorentina striker Christian Rigano, who is known as one of the bombers of Serie B and Serie A, now works as a bricklayer. In an interview for "Corriere della Sera" , he says that after retiring from football, he returned to another job, building walls.
" Yes, it's me, Kristian Rigano," he says when his eyes meet the journalist's. – I know how to do two things in life: score goals and lay bricks (mason). So after I stopped playing, I went back to my boyhood job, before I became a professional footballer. Now I know, you're going to ask me what I'm doing here… Let's just say I've been off this job for quite some time, but this is me. I like to build and repair things. So, not having any coaching job offers, I've returned to my other craft ."
There were seven brothers in the family. "My father, Vincenzo, who unfortunately did not have time to see me fulfill my dream as a footballer, as he was a fisherman. My mother raised us one by one, – says Rigano, who then launches an appeal to return to training as soon as possible. - I got two coaching licenses, I love football, but it is clear that I am not suitable for today's football, mainly made up of sponsors. I do not accept compromises. Of course, if the right offer comes, then I would be ready to go back to the bench ."
But why does he work as a bricklayer, out of trouble? Two marriages and four children. After retiring from the green field for a footballer, the most inevitable question arises: What now? "I'm waiting for your next question ," Rigano smiles. –
Yes, I won well and I am happy about it. However, throughout my career, I have earned as much as mid-level players today earn in two to three months. So, after football we have to go back to work ."
This is Kristian Rigano, who is known as one of the Serie B and Serie A bombers, who ended up working as a bricklayer. The striker who played for Fiorentina from 2002 to 2005, although he scored over 300 goals in 520 games played in Italian football, he always remained the working boy from Lipari. Proud as a football player, proud also as a mason...
