Tonino Orrù, Tommaso Giulini’s final farewell.

Tonino Orrù, Cagliari’s president during the years of the Rossoblù’s double promotion from Serie C to Serie A, has passed away at the age of 86. Tommaso Giulini wanted to say goodbye to him for the last time through a message shared on his Twitter profile: “Cagliari’s history written with competence, pragmatism, passion and style. We will miss you, President.”

This is the statement from the island club: “The president and the entire club huddle around his family and loved ones remembering him with affection and deep esteem, professional and above all human. Humility, competence, passion and foresight the ingredients that characterized his adventure in Rossoblù. The arrival in Sardinia of exceptional players, the sports guidance entrusted to the late Carmine Longo, with whom he will now be able to reunite.”
