The Italian Job - Francesco Becchetti

Who is this chap that spent £7m on taking Orient from third-tier challengers to relegation candidates within three months?

I'll try to shed some light on him. Mainly cut and pasted from old news articles.

Francesco Becchetti:

  • 48 Years Old.
  • Owns the Becchetti Energy Group (BEG). The core business is the design, construction and operation of hydroelectric plants and integrated centres for the treatment and exploitation of municipal solid waste, both in Italy and abroad.
  • Comes from a family of waste disposal expertise. His uncle is Manlio Cerroni, the controversial owner of the Malagrotta landfill site and other sites across Europe.
  • Also active on the wind energy sector across tha Balkans.
  • Possibly resides in Albania.
  • Took a lower-league handball team to the top of the competition in Italy.
  • Just started the Agon TV Channel in Italy. It's been active in Albania for 18 months. Agon channel will specialise in Talent shows.
  • Married to Armela Becchetti.
  • Sounds like a Tony Soprano character. Waste management, Italian and all that..
