Since the start of the school year, he has been one of the figures of the Ligue 1+ channel, the brand new broadcaster of the French championship. At 35 years old, Giovanni Castaldi has already made a name for himself in the French media and sporting landscape.
After having collaborated with Yahoo, i-Télé and RTL, he is now very exposed, both on the platform launched this summer by the LFP but also on the L’Equipe channel, as a reporter and as presenter of The Evening Teamon Sunday and understudying Olivier Ménard.
A dazzling start to his career that some like to put down to his last name, which has the gift of annoying the son of Jean-Pierre and little brother of Benjamin Castaldi.
“When he was a presenter at TF1, Benjamin never picked up his phone to say: ‘Take it to Téléfoot’”he swears in the columns of The Team.
“This f*cking jerk is stealing someone’s place”
“ But Castaldi is like that, it’s divisive.
Since I was a kid, people only talk about my name, I’m used to it.” he adds. If the criticism affects Giovanni Castaldi much less than when he started, the ex-companion of Carine Galli admits that he still sometimes suffers from it.
“The only thing that hurts me is sometimes reading: ‘This f*cking piston is stealing someone’s place’says the one who married Charlotte Rascol last July.
I’m not saying that I’m an excellent journalist, but you can’t take one thing away from me: I work a lot and I’m passionate about what I do. » Work that bears fruit.
