The name Gino Pozzo is synonymous with success, especially in the world of football. Having taken one of the worst the league had to offer, Watford FC, and turned it into a Premier League-level team, Gino has proven his genius time and time again. But what is really inside the mind of this revolutionary football club owner and how did he become so successful so fast?
A Solid Foundation
Gino Pozzo was no stranger to football club ownership when he bought Watford Football Club. His family has owned clubs since the 80s. Even though Gino didn’t take a direct hand in running or managing these teams, he was still exposed to the culture of team ownership and all it entails. This allowed him to take a 20-year trip to Spain to live with his wife and kids before purchasing Watford and doing the impossible with them.
A Serious Disposition
Football club ownership is a very serious matter for Gino Pozzo. He didn’t get into the business because of passion or as a hobby, he wants to win and make money. This is why he takes a direct hand in managing Watford and even moved to London to do it. He’s behind every major business decision and has been instrumental in the success of the club.
Creating a Revolution
Gino Pozzo does whatever he wants. This includes finding loopholes in the recruiting rules so that he could build up Watford into an unstoppable force. League officials didn’t like this though and changed the rules just to stop Gino’s plan. However, it was already too late, and Watford had become a top team.
In addition to this brilliant strategy, Gino Pozzo also deals with his coaches a little differently. He’ll hire one on for a couple of years then let them go. The reason for this is that it keeps the coaching fresh and effective. And Watford’s record proves it.
