The route traced well in advance, the gaze already projected towards the future and a well-defined program that recounts all the progress made since Benevento. The 2024/2025 season of the Via Santa Colomba club has already begun, ten days after the elimination of the Giallorossi from the playoff race. Once the dream of promotion has vanished, the Witch has chosen her destiny which will see her still travel hand in hand with Gaetano Auteri, the leader of the first historic B jump returned to Sannio in 2024 to dive in search of an encore. The final word written against Carrarese turned out to be a real new beginning, formalized with the renewal of the contract until June 2025which tells of the long advance with which Oreste Vigorito’s club chose to move.
The comparison with last summer illustrates all the difficulties faced by Benevento with their relegation to Serie C both the strengths that the club brings with it after the season just ended. Starting from the choice on the bench, which will allow the Samnite club to chart the new course with continuity, immediately concentrating the necessary energies on the market. Last year the announcement of Matteo Andreoletti as the new coach of Benevento it only arrived on July 3rd, after an initial casting indicated by the club’s leaders to identify the best profile on the market. Hence the need to build a project alongside Marcello Carli, floundering through the waste of a relegation that had weighed down the market and limited the club’s possibilities of choice.
AUTERI, MARKET AND SYNTHON WITH THE FANS
The path of continuity taken with Auteri will allow Benevento to gain time and minimize efforts in its technical program: at the starting line of the new season a tandem between coach and director already tested, with six months of shared work behind them and well-defined ideas for the future of the Strega. Planning ahead which will allow the Giallorossi to present themselves in an advantageous position in the summer transfer window, the opposite of last year. The team built for Andreoletti had to deal with the necessary farewells after relegation, cumbersome contracts to be redesigned and a squad to be realigned to the measures of Serie C, also forced to test the youngsters to join the first team on the field.
Obstacles that Benevento will not encounter in their summer, considering the solid foundations already secured for Auteri’s squad also thanks to the promotion of the best products from the youth sector among the greats. And then the newfound harmony with the Giallorossi fans: the embrace of the “Vigorito” in the last nights of the season tells of the reborn passion on the part of the Strega’s supporters, a snapshot of opposite feelings compared to the climate perceived in the first steps taken at the beginning of the last season. Details and particulars that allow Benevento to start from the front row in view of the new championship: in the suitcase for the Strega a program already outlined and an advance on the timetable which risks revealing itself as a key role in the torrid Giallorossi summer.
