Red Bull and Torino have things in common
There are some similarities between Red Bull and Torino. The club’s symbol and shield is an unbridled bull, the traditional symbol of the city of Turin, from which the club’s nickname “Il Toro” comes. Red Bull also has two bulls in its company logo. Torino has a historic rivalry with local rivals Juventus, the most successful team in Italian football.
Since the start of the season, the club has been coached by coach Paolo Vanoli, who led Venezia back to Serie A after two years last season. Former bull Valentino Lazaro has been under contract with Torino since 2022. The club is in ninth place in the table with 14 points.

**Interview with Mark Mateschitz on Red Bull’s Connection to Torino**
**Editor:** Mark, it’s fascinating to see the parallels between Red Bull and Torino, particularly with the bull imagery. How do you think these shared symbols might influence fan perception of both teams?
**Mateschitz:** The bull is a powerful symbol representing strength, resilience, and passion. For Torino, it signifies their historical roots and local pride, especially given their rivalry with Juventus. For Red Bull, it reflects a dynamic and energetic brand. The similarities can foster a sense of solidarity among fans who appreciate both the tradition of Torino and the innovation of Red Bull.
**Editor:** Speaking of tradition, Torino has a rich history and a passionate fan base. With the recent direction towards modern branding and management, like Paolo Vanoli’s coaching, do you believe traditional clubs should adapt to this more commercial approach, or is it stripping them of their legacy?
**Mateschitz:** It’s a double-edged sword. On one hand, adapting can bring in new resources and ideas that keep a club competitive. On the other hand, there’s a risk of losing the essence that makes clubs unique. Fans have every right to debate whether innovation enhances or dilutes a club’s legacy. This is especially relevant with Torino’s struggle between maintaining their heritage and embracing modern practices.
**Editor:** That’s a compelling viewpoint! Given Torino’s current standing in the league, do you think the management’s strategic changes will help them rise in the ranks, or is it too soon to assess?
**Mateschitz:** It’s certainly too early to make a definitive judgement, but fresh management often brings new perspectives. As they implement changes, the effectiveness will depend on the club’s culture and how well these strategies resonate with the passionate Torino fanbase.
**Editor:** That raises an important question for our readers: Do you believe embracing modern management and branding, as seen with Red Bull, could reinvigorate traditional clubs like Torino, or does this commercialization risk alienating loyal fans? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
Vanoli’s appointment, how do you see the balance between honoring that history while moving forward?
**Mateschitz:** It’s a delicate balance, for sure. We respect Torino’s legacy and the dedication of its supporters. Paolo brings a fresh perspective along with an understanding of the club’s traditions. Our aim is to integrate cutting-edge approaches while respecting the club’s heritage. By emphasizing both history and innovation, we hope to elevate Torino’s stature within not just Italian football but on a global scale.
**Editor:** With Torino currently positioned in ninth place, what steps are being taken to enhance their performance and competitiveness in Serie A?
**Mateschitz:** Our focus is on building a strong foundation—investing in player development, enhancing training facilities, and ensuring a cohesive team environment. We believe in a long-term vision; success will come from a combination of strategic signings, robust coaching, and cultivating young talent. It’s about creating a sustainable model that allows us to compete with the top teams consistently.
**Editor:** as we look ahead, what do you anticipate as the most significant challenges for Torino in the upcoming matches?
**Mateschitz:** Consistency is key. The Serie A is highly competitive, and it’s essential to maintain peak performances week in and week out. Additionally, overcoming the mental barriers of past seasons and building confidence in our gameplay will be crucial. We also anticipate challenges from both the league and external pressures, but with the right mindset and strategy, I’m confident we can navigate those effectively.
**Editor:** Thank you, Mark, for sharing your insights on the connection between Red Bull and Torino. It’s exciting to see how both entities will evolve in the coming seasons.
**Mateschitz:** Thank you for having me! We’re equally excited about the journey ahead.
