A new meeting between the president of Messina will be held on Wednesday afternoon Pietro Sciotto and the technician Giacomo Modica. Once the salvation on the field was archived, telephone conversations have been frequent in recent weeks. The possible stay of Zeman’s former deputy has already been at the center of a couple of face-to-face discussions. Now the definitive confrontation, decisive from a future perspective, necessary to bridge the gap between the parties, which partly explains the club’s long silence.

After having formalized your application forregistration, without the hesitations of the previous summer, the top manager has not in fact revealed his future moves. The programming, which was started and then “frozen”, was influenced by the “health problems (which should always remain a private and confidential matter but inevitably affect every single action)” by Sciotto himself and “the bitterness over the protest from part of the fans”cited by the company in the press release dated May 19th.
Modica in recent weeks had been placed alongside the Picernowho he then chose for his bench Francesco Tomei. In previous discussions with Sciotto he would have set as conditions a two-year contract, an adequate increase in his compensation, guarantees of an organizational nature as well as the permanence of trusted figures. In fact, the possible permanence of the organizational director must be evaluated Angelo Costa and the sports director Domenico Romewho however according to what has been filtered will not be present at Wednesday’s meeting.

Two months before the start of the new season (August 11th the Italian Cup, the new championship on the 25th), it is not possible to procrastinate any longer. The new year must be planned, both in terms of structures (one should return to the province after the conclusion of the relationship with the Camaro and the probable renunciation of the use of the system Biscount) and the staff.
There are five elements already bound (Manetta, Franco, Emmausso, Salvo and Frisenna), net of possible new proposals from the market. From other elements such as Leah And Plescia openings have already arrived for a possible extension of the expiring contract, while the Spal – just penalized by three points for the salary dispute – will evaluate offers for Dumbravanu and Rosafio, who have returned to Ferrara after their loan to Messina. There is a basis from which to start again, but now we must do it decisively. In the next few hours it will be clear whether Modica will still be on the bench.
