The chairman of SPAL has told the Italian media he’s delighted they managed to sign Mirco Antenucci after he was released by Leeds United in the summer. The 31-year-old has been in impressive form for the Serie B side, including scoring a hat trick last night against Avellino.
“Antenucci is a particular person, a great man before a great player. If it is not for his three goals, I look at what he does every day, his relationship with his teammates and I’m delighted he came to Ferrara,” said Mattioli
Antenucci spent two seasons at Elland Road following his move from Ternana in 2014, and was the top scorer at Leeds United in his first season in England. The Italian exited the club in May when his contract expired, and has since gone on record to criticise the Massimo Cellino regime.
