East Londoners announce 35-year-old Andrea Pressenda as new technical director
Leyton Orient have confirmed sports journalist Andrea Pressenda as their new technical director.
The O’s football adviser Gianluca Romano left Brisbane Road before Christmas and said: “I want to thank all Leyton Orient fans for making me feel your full support, I really appreciated it.”
Pressenda will replace Romano having been involved with Francesco Becchetti’s Agon TV Channel previously.
A statement on the official club website read: “Born in Rome, Pressenda has been working in football since 2004 as a journalist and football advisor.
