CARPI
What begins today will be Marco Bernardi’s first week at the helm of Carpi and with his arrival the radio market has linked two former Fiorenzuola players to Carpi. These are the defender Michele Cremonesi (’88) with 140 Serie B games behind him, and the midfielder Luca Mora (’88) who joined the Rossoneri from Pescara last year. For now only rumours, such as those concerning many of the red and whites who have made it possible to regain Serie C. In Forlì, for example, the arrival on the bench of Alessandro Miramari, ex Corticella, has brought the focus on Hamza Larhrib and Matteo Cortesi, already investigated in the last few days also from the Citadel. For both, Carpi is evaluating whether to confirm them in the Serie C squad, but in the meantime there is no shortage of suitors in Serie D. In fact, it was Miramari himself who launched Larhirb two years ago at Corticella, the year in which the 2003 class scored 11 goals with the Bolognese, who then won the playoff final at ‘Cabassi’. Then watch out for Cortesi, who has already been to Forlì, but who has also registered other contenders such as Ravenna and Alcione Milano, newly promoted to Serie C. In the last few hours, Ravenna announced that they had received the communication from the sporting director Grammatica not to wanting to remain in the new Cipriani project and in the last few hours Romagna has also mentioned the name of Riccardo Motta as a possible sporting director alongside Ariedo Braida. Meanwhile, speaking of exes, Matteo Contini, fresh from success in the D playoffs with Desenzano (even if there is no chance of a repechage) and red and white coach at the end of the 2022-23 season is the new coach of Milan Women.
Group. With the promotion of Carrarese to Serie B which arrived last night thanks to the success in the playoff final against Vicenza – a match within a match between the former red and white coaches Calabro and Vecchi – the framework of the 60 teams of the next Lega Pro has been defined: to date geographically they are 20 from the North, 17 from the center (including Carpi, plus Spal and Rimini) and 20 from the South to which must be added the 3 ‘Under 23’ teams who by regulation must each go to a different group. Precisely the certain rejection of Ancona, who presented a incomplete application and will be replaced by Milan Under 23, blew up the accounts. It will therefore be up to one of Milan, Juve or Atalanta U23 to go to the ‘C’ group of the South, with one of Campobasso or Latina forced to move up to ‘B’ where at the moment there are Arezzo, Ascoli, Carpi, Gubbio, Lucchese, Perugia , Pescara, Pianese, Pineto, Pontedera, Rimini, Sestri Levante, Spal, Ternana, Torres, Virtus Entella, Vis Pesaro, plus an Under 23 and plus one from the North, probably one from Legnago or Pergolettese.
