The point of Corriere dello Sport on Serie B.
Between today and tomorrow, Roberto D’Aversa is expected to sign the two-year contract that will tie him to Cesena and which also includes the option until 2027 in the event of promotion to Serie A. Sports director Fabio artigianato is waiting to close the matter for then open operations on the preparation of the staff, for which no upheavals are foreseen. The biggest problem is Cristian Shpendi, born in 2003, after 20 goals and 6 assists in 32 appearances in his last triumphant season in Serie C: the attacker could be sold (starting from a minimum of 3.5 million) but with the intention of keep him on loan next season. Meanwhile, the season ticket campaign has started and on the first day it has already exceeded 400 (last year there were 130 in the first half day). Until June 27th season ticket holders from last season will be able to confirm their place, but all seats not subject to pre-emption can be purchased now.
REGGIANA. At Reggiana, a leap forward for the post-Nesta period of Cristian Bucchi, who with the new sporting director Marcello Pizzimenti worked at Perugia in Serie B and was Modena’s striker at the time of patron Romano Amadei. In the last few hours he overtook Fabio Caserta (formerly Cosenza) and Ignazio Abate who left the Milan Primavera. The Granata environment is putting pressure on the club to dissolve the reserve, recalling that Alessandro Nesta’s announcement last year came on 10 June
CATANZARO. The day after having received Mr. Vivarini’s no to continue riding Catanzaro, despite another year of contract, this together with the farewells of the sporting director Magalini and the general manager Foresti (officially communicated yesterday), we try to understand the whys, with related reasons that pushed the coach (and in any case the triad), the most successful in the centenary history of the Giallorossi, into a real escape, looking elsewhere. Catanzaro must start again with brand new profiles, rebuilding an organization chart that has practically disappeared. The figure to whom the general management of the club could be entrusted could be Giuseppe D’Aniello, still linked to Ternana, while the transfer man that president Noto met is Matteo Lovisa, who built the newly promoted Juve Stabia in Serie B, with the alternative by Davide Vaira of Modena. These are hectic days for Noto who, once these two figures have been identified, will move on to choosing the coach, with the name of Alberto Aquilani being the most popular.
COSENZA. In recent days there was a first contact between the general manager Ursino, the sporting director Delvecchio and William Viali. By the end of the week the club will understand whether Viali will be the coach for next season too. Beyond the fact that he has a contract until June 30, 2025, the coach asked for guarantees on some players and on future programs. If there are, he will remain in his place. Conversely, Cosenza is already focusing on other coaches. We look at Ignazio Abate who has coached the Milan Primavera in the last two seasons.
