Samuele Ricci has become an indispensable figure in Paolo Vanoli’s Torino side.
The former Empoli player’s ever-increasing minutes on the pitch underline his importance, as he surpasses five former Torino stalwarts in the all-time appearances ranking.
Ricci’s performances have made him the undisputed leader of Paolo Vanoli’s Torino.
Under the guidance of the former Venezia boss, the class of 2001 midfielder has made the much-coveted leap in quality.
Paolo Vanoli, the Torino manager, was quoted as saying, “Samuele’s progress has been phenomenal, and he brings a new dynamic to our midfield.” His statements were published in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport.
This sentiment was echoed by Torino sporting director Davide Vagnati, who remarked, “Ricci’s development this season has exceeded even our own expectations,” as cited in Tuttosport.
Ricci’s growth in stature is not just evident in his on-field contributions but also in his ability to inspire teammates.
These attributes make him a player to watch in the coming seasons.
