Roberto Baggio between Buddhism and family
After retiring in 2004, Roberto Baggio becomes a sports manager. But it also deals with much more. For example, few know of one Soka Gakkai, a Buddhist secular school, which Baggio has built inside one of his premises. He also writes his own autobiography, in which he talks about his career, his relationship with the Buddhist faith and much more.
