The 2023/24 season of Messina is about to go permanently into the archive. On Thursday the group entrusted to Giacomo Modica underwent a new training session, clearly certainly not at the pace of a few weeks ago, even if it is important for all members not to completely lose their athletic condition before the long summer break. On Friday, still at “Franco Scoglio”, the last seasonal work session is scheduled, before the traditional “break ranks”, which will precede the well-deserved holidays.

The sporting director also returned to the city during the day Domenico Romealthough there is no confirmation of a meeting with the president Pietro Sciotto. The confirmations of the technical staff could be defined over the next week, even if the top manager has not yet officially spoken out on the subject. Certainly, after a summer of authentic passion, in which Messina arrived at the date of 22 June without any absolute certainty of registration for the next football tournament Pro Leaguethis year the organizational machine has already been activated early.
An obligatory choice, also because the peremptory deadlines for compliance have been brought forward by approximately three weeks. The endless series of summer appeals by the rejected clubs led to the compilation of a calendar in which a team, the Casertana, was not yet certain of the repechage, with the consequent postponements of the first championship matches, including the match against Messina. Hence the decision to bring everything forward, with the infrastructure deadlines already set for the next one May 24th and the deadline relating to the registration fee and guarantee for the June 4th.

At Messina we therefore work hard to comply with tax deadlines, with the surety from 350 thousand euros to be renewed ei payments to be carried out. Constant contacts with the Common, with a feeling re-established after some diplomatic incidents during the championship. Even the offices of Palazzo Zanca were surprised by the advance of almost a month, which requires an immediate convocation of the Supervisory Commission, called to grant permission for the availability of the stadium. In short, we cannot be caught unprepared.
The possible stays of Modica and Rome could clearly facilitate greater continuity on the staffing front, often a utopia in C, at all latitudes. Five elements under contract: Manetta, Franco, Emmausso, Frisenna And Savethe last three already tested by higher category clubs during 2024. Technical continuity could suggest other confirmations, also because elements like Lia and Polito already have a multi-year bond with the coach and sporting director.
