The Messina 2024/25 edition will still be active Pro League and, barring sensational reversals or steps backwards by the current ownership, will see the president at the helm for the eighth consecutive year, the fourth in C Pietro Sciottowhich also ended up once again in the sights of organized fans, as often happened during the contested management.

Once the certainty of permanence had been achieved, the Curva Sud returned to calling for a change of pace in terms of ambitions. A much quieter stay than those of the previous two years, caught by the skin of their teeth, can be the starting point towards positions of greater prestige. Even if the theme has been the same for over a decade, after the fleeting glories of Serie A: adequate structures are needed to support the first team and a more effective organization and structuring of the club.
For the purposes of building the future staff, the possible permanence of the sporting director will be decisive Domenico Rome and the technician James Modica. Their departure could instead coincide with a further revolution. Messina only has five players already tied up until June 2025: the defenders Marco Throat and Joseph Savethe midfielders Domenico Frank and Giulio Frisenna and the striker Michele Emmaussowho signed a two-year contract last summer.
There is also interest from Serie B clubs for Michele Emmausso
Salvo, Frisenna and Emmausso have already obtained the interest of higher category clubs, who had already knocked in the winter market for the two under, and therefore in the presence of economic offers of a certain size it is not excluded that their Messina adventure could end in advance. Both because Messina wouldn’t clip his wings, and because a capital gain could materialise, which in Lega Pro is always a very remote possibility.
Eight elements in loan who will return to the clubs that hold their contract: the goalkeeper Edoardo Flat at Udinese, the Moldovan defender Daniel Dumbravanu and the attacker Marco Rosafio at Spal, the winger Samuele Area at Arezzo, the midfielder Francesco Paolo Scafetta at Bari, who are also at risk of relegation to Serie C, the strikers Pierluca Luciani at Frosinone, Marco Zunnowhich could become a valuable piece of the market, like Cremonese and Sabino Elegant at Cerignola.
Giuseppe Salvo is among the five elements under contract
Eleven elements are expiring, so the doors of a renewal could still reopen especially if Rome and Modica remain in place.
