Jamie Vardy’s historic chapter at Leicester City came to an end last season, but the 38-year-old cult hero is already making headlines in Italy after joining Serie A side Cremonese.
Vardy signed an initial one-year deal with the newly promoted club, which includes an option for a further 12 months, and so far the move is going smoothly. The Cremonese are unbeaten and third in the table, Vardy has made his debut and reports suggest he and his wife Rebekah are settling in well the sweet life with his two children.
The couple bought a £2 million villa in Salò, historically famous for being Benito Mussolini’s base of operations and, coincidentally, now the hometown of Vardy’s new team-mate Romano Mussolini (the dictator’s great-grandson).
As well as enjoying their new surroundings, the Vardys are also taking Italian lessons. Jamie, however, is said to especially enjoy the more colorful parts of the vocabulary.
“Jamie and Becky already love the Italian life and are doing their best to blend in perfectly. The whole family is taking Italian lessons and Jamie is already up to speed on some of the more colorful swear words,” a source said. the sun.
Apparently his favorite so far is “Vaffanculo” – a not-so-polite phrase that loosely translates to “get lost.”
It fits perfectly with Vardy’s reputation: he has said previously having deliberately learned bad words in the languages of their Premier League opponents to utter during matches. Now, it looks like he’s bringing those daring skills to Serie A, meaning Italian defenders could be suffering more than just a headache chasing him.
