Servette-McSorley on the resignation of Del Curto: "The saddest day"

He beckons. The immediate resignation of HCD coach Arno Del Curto. Since 1996, he was part of the record champion group. He justified his sudden farewell with these words: "I've been too long in Davos" (Blick report).

Not only in Graubünden, the 62-year-old makes a splash with his decision. All Swiss hockey is crying. For example, Chris McSorley, who has been working for Servette since the 2001/02 season and knows Del Curto very well, said: "I was shocked when I heard the news. the saddest day since I arrived in Switzerland. "That's almost 17 years ago. It means something. "Arno is a phenomenal personality, a great coach and a motivator," continues McSorley at 20 Minutes. "Our personal relationship was very deep and very respectful, it's sad because we are losing a valuable colleague."

Even Gregory Hofmann, who was on the ice under Del Curto in Davos from 2012 to 2015 and celebrated with the legend of the coach the league title in 2015, is saddened. Today, Lugano's top scorer told RSI: "It hurts when such a person leaves hockey."

Hofmann continues: "I can only thank Arno, for all that he has done for me, I owe him to be here today."

Hofmann can only speculate on the pursuit of Del Curto. "I do not know what his ambitions are – nobody else did what he did in Davos, so I do not think he could do it again. But with Arno, you never know, it's the beauty of his personality. "(Mam)
