As the story could not end here, thirty-four years later, Attilio Romero, He became president of Torino, a position he held until recently, trying to return from the offices that snatched glory from the wheel of his Fiat. He was not very lucky and led the club to disaster, like a few decades before when it ended with Meroni Teeth who entered the gallery of legends, as almost always unfortunate.
