The “waltz” of names at Catanzaro will find its maximum realization in the next 48 hours. In fact, the week begins that will bring the new sporting director to the Calabrian capital as well as the coach who will lead the Giallorossi in the next Serie B championship. From Friday to today, many names have followed one another for these two delicate roles, keeping the great passion of the fans was ignited today, a little saddened by the stormy separation with Vincenzo Vivarini. It is already Ari’s coach who made Catanzaro dream and even in these hours he has been talked about with market movements that concern him, as well as for the now former DS Magalini. Let’s analyze everything starting from the very eventful short term for the sporting director issue.
Matteo Lovisa is gone, or almost, who after the meeting with president Noto in a well-known restaurant in Falerna found himself confirmed at the center of the Juve Stabia project, complete with an official press release. During the week the bar quickly passed from Vaira, last season in Modena, to Ciro Polito, former sporting director of Bari, and vice versa. To date, however, both have apparently been removed from the podium due to the inclusion of a new name. Giancarlo Romairone, his last assignment in Trieste, seems to be on pole. He is an expert figure who boasts experience in important places such as Verona (Chievo side), Bari and Terni. Radiomercato talks about him today but be careful not to take things for granted in this phase in which everything can change and even quickly.
Coach chapter, on which a premise must be made. The choice of general director Morganti, who should meet Noto tomorrow to choose the sporting director and coach, is not so random. Indeed, it suggests that a synergy with Juventus, where Morganti himself comes from, could open up scenarios for some upcoming promising players, or perhaps for the coach. Who knows? Coincidentally in the last few hours the strong name of Massimo Brambilla, coach of Juventus NextGen whose contract expires with the Bianconeri, has also been linked to Catanzaro in well-known newspapers. Another name that circulated over the long weekend is Paolo Montero, interim coach of Juventus in Serie A and coach of the Juventus spring, but we believe it’s just a rumour. And there have been many up until this evening that have also included Bucchi (spotted at Crotone yesterday), Zaffaroni and even former Udinese coach Fabio Cannavaro on the Giallorossi bench.
We underline that they are all voices that are part of the great mixture of the transfer market, but in concrete terms for the Catanzaro bench, in addition to Brambilla, the name of Alberto Aquilani was the strongest and most concrete. Last night it was practically taken for granted before we woke up this morning with a well-known national newspaper that had Aquilani in contention with “our” Vivarini for the benches of Frosinone and Salernitana. Plot after plot that will soon find the end and the beginning of the official events that will give life to the construction of the teams and the departures of the training camps. Vivarini, who will have to free himself from the “appropriate locations” of Catanzaro, today was strongly inclined towards Frosinone but not alone.
According to Sky, he would like to bring with him Vandeputte, who is also interested in Cagliari, and Antonini. We don’t think it will be that easy to get these players who are under contract out of here unless they get paid very handsomely. Bari is waiting for Magalini and wants to make it official this week, hoping to resolve the open situation with Catanzaro. On the players front, although some names have been circulated, there is little movement given the missing boxes in the management field.
Di Chiara from Parma seems more than a rumor and is on holiday on the Catanzaro coast, perhaps to “anticipate” the imminent arrival. We even read about a survey from Catanzaro for Tutino, but given Cosenza’s redemption and the agent’s subsequent response, we believe it could only be a fantasy market. We have summarized the great weekend of Catanzaro, with rumors, hypotheses, ideas and some “hoaxes” that have passed but the concert will arrive tomorrow in the week of choices that will lead to the sporting director and the coach.
