“Total reversal of reality” a great football connoisseur like Silvio Berlusconi would have addressed, yes. Nicola Ragno will not be the new coach of Fidelis Andria 2024-25 which starts with the declared ambition of winning the championship: despite there being a certified agreement between the parties, despite the fact that the Lamorte-Daleno-Ragno triad has, as we reported, carried out a public outing at San Nicola in Bari on the occasion of the first leg play outs, the wedding is not to be done.
At the altar in via Enrico Dandolo arrives Domenico Giacomarro, fiancé of Fidelis Andria: it’s all done, he will most likely bring with him the captain of Altamura with whom he won the last group H of Serie D, Francesco Bertolo. Andrea Petta and Nicola Loiodice will almost certainly not follow him in his adventure in Andria.
We reached the latter by telephone and he clearly confirmed to us that there will be no future for him in Andria with Domenico Giacomarro.
“Hi Nicola, thank you for giving us this exclusive interview”.
L. Hi Riccardo and greetings to all my friends from Andria.
In the last season you established yourself as a top player in the category.
L. Thank you for your respect, it was a great season, we wrote history in Altamura, it was the victory of the group, of Peppe Mattera, of Riccardo Lattanzio, of Andrea Petta, of the boys, of real men. I am very happy with my personal contribution to the cause, to the square and to the club, despite a confirmed muscle injury that has caused me discomfort in the last two months, I have never held back and have always been present on the pitch on Sundays to achieve the objective .
We understand that your attorney has requests from all over Italy.
L. I have always declared that my priority was to compete with Serie C in Altamura, my agent Giuseppe Abruzzese, a true Andriesian, spoke with several important clubs (Pistoiese, Reggina, San Marzano, Casarano, Sambenedettese, ed.). We will make a final decision in the next few days.
You didn’t mention Fidelis Andria.
L. In recent weeks I have had the opportunity to talk about it with Savino Daleno to whom I am linked by a relationship of personal and family friendship before being professional, but with the events of the last few days which have upset the technical area in Andria I feel like saying that for me there will certainly be no future in Andria with these conditions, at least in the immediate future.
Regret?
L. Sorry, yes. Squares like Andria are the ones that stimulate players and men like me, who need to galvanize. Absolutely nothing against the president Giuseppe Di Benedetto, to whom my greetings and esteem go, I can certainly state out loud that I would have liked to help bring Fidelis Andria back to where it deserves to be, that is, among the professionals.”
Radio market:
Possibility of closing quickly for the new manager of the technical area, with a professional past, probably Pietro Chiaradia close to Giacomarro. Another hypothesis on the plate is the young Cristiano Tromboni.
Tight negotiations for Mateus Da Silva: the former Gravina, top scorer of the last group H, was made official by FC Hermannstadt, Romanian first division, but his agent promptly denied any type of formal agreement, continuing discussions with Fidelis Andria but not only that: patron Massi’s Sambenedettese is also on him.
There are currently high possibilities of Captain Nicola Strambelli staying in Andria.
We are also working on Ugento’s Spanish midfielder Julen Bernaola, on whom Sambenedettese is always strong.
The doors are still open for a return to the blue and white of the center forward from Andria, Riccardo Lattanzio, who scored the promotion goal for Altamura under the orders of coach Giacomarro.
