It will be an even more ambitious Terre di Castelli team that will face Eccellenza with coach Domizzi (for whom there was also interest from the reborn Chievo) on the bench. As anticipated in the new reorganization, Fabrizio Ascari joins the Board of Directors as the new team manager, while the technical direction is assumed directly by Marco Ballotta, who therefore takes on an even more central role in the company. Alessandro Luppi remains as general director and CEO and Ali Aden as president. A leading role will also be played by Filippo Rossi who will integrate the management, Venturelli is the general secretary and Francesco Galli the communications delegate. Domizzi’s staff has also been confirmed as a whole: Marco Fila as deputy, Maurizio Aldrovandi as goalkeeping coach, Alex Lodovisi as athletic trainer and Giovanni Ferretti as physiotherapist. From a technical point of view, the team will be strengthened in all departments: the additions of Gibertini, Arati and the return of Salvatore Giordano (2000) in midfield from Castelfranco are already official. Also made for the arrival in attack of Giovanni Habib from Formigine, the number one target up front is Mattia Ridolfi (’89) fresh from promotion to D with the Cittadella, in defense again from the Cittadella the winger Davide De Lucca is arriving (2000) ex Mezzolara and Caronnese, but the big shot could be Abel Gigli (’90) from Correggese and ex in D of Rimini and Caronnese among others. On his way out, however, he will almost certainly say goodbye to the 2002 attacking midfielder Riccardo Iori, who is contested between Nibbiano and Corticella’s Serie D.
The future of Francesco Stanco, who is close to leaving, also needs to be evaluated. In Serie D another substantial addition from the Cittadella with Lorenzo Mandelli (’98) midfielder with 28 games and one goal in D at Varese and former Giana and Villa Valle (over 170 games in D in his career). In Promotion, San Felice has made Mr. Pizzo official and is thinking of Nikolas Mebelli, United Carpi midfielder in 2001. Midfielder Ernest Lartey (’91) will leave Sanmichelese after 6 seasons. Due to work commitments (also to better follow his project for children in Ghana) he will move down a category and is looking for a team. In Prima Corlo takes striker Gabriele Ceresoli (2003) from Pgs. At Fiorano, the 2004 defender Luca Andreoli is leaving, returning at the end of his loan from Castellarano, the 2005 midfielder Martinelli, while the sporting director Ferrari follows in midfield Daniele Gazzani (’98) ex Solierese and Casalgrande and in attack the 2005 Luis Bylyshi of Sanmichelese . Luca Bruno (2002) from Solignano returns to midfield in Colombaro. In Cortilese’s third shot with Yebeltal Marino, former Limidi and Solierese 2000 midfielder.
