    Altro che Coverciano, è Foggia l’università del calcio Altro che Coverciano. È Foggia l’università del pallone, la piazza che sforna con impressionante continuità i migliori allenatori d’Italia. La bella intuizione di Giovanni Cataleta, che a questo singolare record calcistico del capoluogo dauno ha dedicato un intero capitolo del suo ultimo libro Il distintivo dalla parte del cuore, trova conferma anche nella storia più recente, in questa ultima stagione, che ha visto protagonisti allenatori ed ex allenatori rossoneri. Tenuto conto che il libro è stato pubblicato l’anno scorso, temo che il buon Cataleta e il suo attento editore Biagio Porricelli (Mitico Channel) saranno costretti ad una nuova edizione del volume, che intanto si sta imponendo all’attenzione del mondo calcistico nazionale. Il distintivo dalla parte del cuore è stato recensito dal Guerin Sportivo, prestigioso mensile calcistico nazionale, che a proposito del libro di Cataleta, nel numero attualmente in edicola scrive: “È da un po’ che la storia del Foggia non veniva rinverdita da qualche apparizione nel grande calcio.
