Lega Pro: Ghirelli, apprenticeship strengthens training / football axis

(ANSA) – ROME, 02 JUL – The training of young players, for their future but also for their present, becomes even more central for Serie C clubs after the agreement reached on the professionalizing apprenticeship contract. The clubs will be able to hire players by reducing the tax impact – around -40% on contributions – but above all by ensuring them training not only for post-career work, but also useful for improving their quality as players. This is underlined by the president of the Lega Pro, Francesco Ghirelli, who has been committed since 2012 to reach this goal.

“The apprenticeship contract for young players has an important, I would say revolutionary value – says Ghirelli on the phone with ANSA – because it constitutes the training / football axis which is what we want for young players. The days of ‘come are over to the field and do not think about anything else ‘, now everything has changed. Each child will be entrusted to a tutor who will follow their training, avoiding early school leaving. Greater preparation will also help the players to learn more about their body, nutrition, tactics and many other things that will be useful not only for the future, but also for a technical improvement in the activity on the pitch “.

“Now the codes for the activation of the contract will have to be prepared, we hope that everything will be settled with the INPS by October 31st, but eventually we will try to postpone the date – adds Ghirelli -. By the end of the year we should begin to have a clear picture , but we are already committed to lowering the minimum age for access, from 18 to 15/16 years (the maximum is 23, ed). It would further strengthen the role of Lega Pro as a source of talent for Italian football , but also of people ready to face a career after football “. iodo “. (ANSA).
