He also became a professional match analyst over the course of his career. It was during this time; began to conceptualize his first company.

Diddi says: “It was really a pleasure to be associated with football. This game has taught me so much that I owe him everything I have. Being a football manager made me realize that there is a lot more to the game than what is played on the pitch. This was my motivating factor to get into digital entrepreneurship while remaining associated with gaming. "

Luca now runs a very successful sportswear brand called Calciatori Ignoranti. It was founded in March 2015 and has grown tremendously since then. With an Instagram following of 1.3 million, the company is now also one of the most successful sports management companies in Italy.

The network that the company has built over the years is helping Luca to expand horizontally in every aspect of football. He also wants to start holding football matches as the pandemic's restrictions ease.

He has also written a book where Starting from the memories of a childhood spent with the inseparable ball; the author retraces his path in the world of football. After his first experiences as a player, an injury arrives that determines his early retirement and his subsequent commitment as coach of youth teams.

Once a football coach, sitting on the edge of the pitch, Luca has grown to be a major player in the industry and is now, metaphorically, sitting on top of it.
