Former Roma and Lazio coach
Zdenek Zeman said at the presentation of the sports programme of
the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) Wednesday that he
was backing the M5S "because I believe".
The Czech coach, who currently coaches Pescara, quipped to
the packed public "I'm here by mistake, I should be down there
with you".
Zeman, who got Italian citizenship in 1975, said "I've been
criticised a lot but I thought people's vote was secret".
The popular manager was presented by M5S bigwig Alessandro Di
Battista who shortly before had announced that twice Olympic
swimming champ Domenico Fioravanti would be the movement's
sports minister if the M5S wins Sunday's general election.
