There is also movement on the transfers of sporting directors. Standing by are Giannitti, fresh from the resolution with Ascoli, and Giovannini, who had reached an agreement with the consortium intending to take over Livorno. But Esciua doesn’t sell
Former Arezzo in the center of the market. The news is these days that Roberto Goretti, in the past sporting director of Perugia and Reggiana (two promotions to Serie B with the red and white and the grenade), will join Fiorentina. The announcement was made by the head of the Viola technical area, Daniele Pradè. Born in 1976, Goretti played in amaranth from 2006 to 2008, in B and C1, collecting a total of 49 appearances without goals. The crossbar hit in the return match of the Italian Cup quarter-finals against Milan was memorable. Arezzo were ahead 1-0 (goal by Floro Flores) and the second goal would have put the match back on level terms after the 0-2 in the first leg.
He could also make the leap in category Roberto Gemmi, 49 years old, Amaranth sports director from 2016 to 2018 under Ferretti management. His CV also includes Carpi, Pisa (promotion to B), Brescia for a short period and finally Cosenza, where in the last period differences of opinion have arisen with president Guarascio. There is strong interest in Gemmi from Bari and especially Empoli, where Pietro Accardi who has moved to Sampdoria needs to be replaced. But Cosenza is doing everything to mend the relationship.
The director has been confirmed by Pianese, newly promoted to C Francesco Cangi, who “will lead the technical-sporting area – we read in the press release – after a two-year period in which the results were extraordinary, with the victory in the play-offs in the 22-23 season and the fantastic ride in the 23-24 season concluded with the achievement of promotion among professionals”. Cangi, 42 years old, spent two seasons as a footballer in Arezzo, making 42 appearances in total and being part of the squad that rose to Serie B in 2004.
The position of instead is on stand by Marco Giannitti, Amaranth goalkeeper from 1999 to 2003, with several promotions under his belt with San Marino, Frosinone and Perugia and fresh from relegation to Serie C with Ascoli. After the termination of the contract, he has not yet found accommodation. Ditto for Paolo Giovannini. The former Amaranth general manager had reached an agreement with the consortium led by Andrea Locatelli, intending to take over the ownership of Livorno. However, the deal did not go through and the president Joel Esciua actually reiterated his desire to relaunch his management.
