CARRARA. The Lega Pro crowns Nicolas Schiavi as the best player of the playoffs: «Ours fanbase expressed his irrefutable opinion. AND Nicolás Schiavi the MVP of the 2024 Playoffs: a wonderful (and decisive) goal from a free kick in the semi-final in Benevento, an assist and a lot of quality at the service of Carrarese.”
In view of next season Piazza Vittorio Veneto will have the opportunity to confirm much of the team’s structure. To best tackle the junior series, it will be important to maintain the historic group of players and the enthusiasm that was created with the promotion. At the moment the most important piece that risks remaining empty is that of the goalkeeper, given that Bleve is destined to return to Lecce after a year on loan. Carrarese will have to quickly understand if there are margins for the confirmation of the goalkeeper, or if they will have to hunt for a new number one who can guarantee experience and important saves also in Serie B. Instead, we are moving towards confirmation a group of the main starting defenders of the year. Coppolaro will be able to remain on loan from Modena for another season. Di Gennaro’s contract will end in June 2025, while Imperiale is tied to Carrarese until 2026. Illanes was bought out by Avellino. He also completes the external lanes, where we can start again from the various Grassini, Belloni, Cicconi (under contract until 2025) and Zanon (2026).
In the middle of the field, captain Della Latta and director Schiavi are already locked in until 2026. Among the great protagonists of the year, the fates of Capezzi and Palmieri remain to be known as their contracts expire, while Zuelli will return to Pisa at the end of his loan.
In attack we will start again from the starting trident. Finotto and Capello will remain in Carrara until 30 June 2025 and Panico was bought out by Crotone. Giannetti and Morosini remain out of contract.
