This morning, National team Head Coach, Luciano Spalletti, visited the Comunità Servizi Abilè in Schio (Vicenza), the cooperative which has been offering accommodation and support to people with disabilities for 35 years. Accompanied by the mayor of Schio, Valter Orsi, and welcomed by a poster with the words 'Welcome Coach', Spalletti signed autographs as well as posed for photos and selfies with the guests of the Abilè centre in via Fornasa, with whom he also improvised a fun challenge to table football.

“It is a great achievement to be able to create structures like this”, declared the coach, underlining how the guests of the centre are “true champions”. “Happiness – he added – is what you can give to others. We are nothing until we figure this out."
