The Grosseto fans displayed the banner bearing the words “Camorra, no thanks” after the arrival of the new president. The Tuscan soccer team, which plays in group B of Serie C, was sold by the Ceri family to the construction entrepreneur from Caserta, Nicola Di Matteo . The agreement between the parties was made official on Monday 27 December through a press release. A few hours after the agreement outside the Nilo Palazzoli training ground , the banner appeared that testifies to the anger and disappointment of the fans.

It all started with a sentence pronounced by Nicola Di Matteo who pronounced in 2019, during the presentation at Teramo as the new CEO. " The Camorra is a choice of life, I have always respected them, they respected me ".

Those heavy and unacceptable words that already at the time unleashed a storm that prompted Di Matteo to immediately interrupt his participation in the company. Forward the Lega Pro suspended him from any official event after making a report to the Federal Prosecutor, while the mayor of Teramo, Gianguido D'Alberto, was very hard in censoring those statements.
