There is a season to plan for Crotone, starting from the new coach they will be Emilio Longo. The former Picerno coach will join the rossoblù team in the next few days with a two-year contract. The announcement came directly from CEO Vrenna during the press conference to present the club’s new Sports Director, Antonio Amodio.
The meeting also discussed the transfer market and what emerged was the profile of goalkeeper Gabriel Meli, returning from a good season with the Recanati.
Crotone, Meli name for the goal
It was Amodio himself who responded to a question regarding the goalkeeper during the presentation press conference Gabriel Meli of Recanati. The new rossoblù director did not want to confirm or deny this rumor. “Goalkeeper Meli? As far as the negotiation is concerned, I prefer to avoid it, we give an advantage to the others by confirming this. However, we are very vigilant on the transfer market and as mentioned we have to think about exits first also because we have a fairly large squad.”
In the last few hours Crotone would also have been interested in another goalkeeper, Gabriel Fernandesfootballer protagonist of the promotion in Serie C of the Team Altamura.
A renewed Crotone
Crotone will change face, particularly in defense where defenders Guillaume Gigliotti and Davide Bove are already expected to leave due to the end of their contracts. Federico Papini’s contract also expires, although there could be talk of a possible renewal for him in the coming weeks. The rossoblù in defense will instead be able to count on the young Giovanni D’Aprile, a promising player who has already gained experience in the ranks of Roma’s Primavera sector. Finally, goalkeepers Andrea Dini and Alex Valentini will not remain in Crotone, both of whose contracts are expiring.
Made for Longo
Crotone will be the new coach for the 2024-2025 football season Emilio Longo. The official announcement will arrive in the next few days but the operation – as announced by General Director Raffaele Vrenna – is now concluded.
After two years at Picerno the coach will arrive in Southern Italy to try his hand at a new experience with a team as ambitious as the rossoblù.
Crotone, the transfer rumors
But which players could Crotone restart from? Definitely from the Brazilian midfielders Lucas Felippe And Vinicius Di Stefano, which only arrived last summer. In attack, the Calabrians will be able to count on the presence of Guido Gomez and Marco Tumminello, who in the absence of essential offers will still remain in the rossoblu.
In goal there is always the presence of the young goalkeeper Francesco D’Alterio, who has gained experience playing the role of starter in the second round of the recently concluded season. Another player who could suit the “new” Crotone is the striker Dimităr Miroslavov Kostadinov who showed good qualities in the few races played. In attack, Crotone has finally paid attention to striker Gabriele Emmausso, who is leaving Messina, in the last few days.
