Udinese Calcio can confirm that Federico Balzaretti's contract as technical director has been terminated by mutual consent.
We wish to thank him for the passion he put into the job from the very first moment he set foot in Udine. He took to the role with great professionalism and pride at being part of Udinese.
“It was a difficult, emotional season that went down to the wire end but we managed it in the end," Balzaretti commented. "I would like to thank everyone at Udinese: the Pozzo family, managing director [Franco] Collavino, the coaches, members of staff, players and all the club departments. A big heartfelt thank you to the fans and the city of Udine for their support and passion. I wish everyone the very best for the future.”
