Rivera made these comments in an interview, pointing out that the current owners have made some surprising decisions, such as dismissing coach Sergio Conceicao and bringing back Max Allegri.

He also mentioned that the owners did not consider him for any role at the club, despite his vast experience and knowledge of the game. Rivera's comments suggest that he feels underappreciated and overlooked by the current management.

Furthermore, Rivera criticized the current state of youth development in Italian football. He pointed out that it is rare for young players to make their debut at the age of 15, as he did when he started his professional career with Alessandria.

Rivera believes that the agents who represent young players often prioritize their own interests over the well-being of the players. He also feels that this can lead to harm for the game as a whole.
