PESCARA. Weekend of reflections in Pescara and the decisive days for two important white smokes should begin tomorrow. Sorry, fundamental for the immediate future. Club and coach, time is running out and we can’t wait any longer if we want to try to lay the foundations to plan a winning season after the disappointments of the last four years. Relegation from Serie B, two playoffs for Serie C played as supporting players (this season and in the Auteri-Zauri management) and the elimination in the semi-final against Foggia. Pescara wants to cancel those years and return to Serie B, but in order for the project to be realized, fresh forces are needed in the club.
Rosettano Navarra. The Ciociaria entrepreneur Rosettano Navarra and Daniele Sebastiani could shake hands closely. The documents have been sent, there has been more than one meeting (the first last May 7th after Pescara-Pontedera) and the details are being finalized before the white smoke. Barring any twists and turns, the former Pontodera partner could join Sebastiani in the club. The possible percentage of the shares remains to be understood and it remains to be understood whether Navarra will ask to bring one of his trusted men to Pescara.
Vittorio Cozzella. If Rosettano Navarra were to bring a manager in blue and white, the choice would fall on Vittorio Cozzella. This season he was director of Casertana, in the past manager of Ternana, Livorno and Samb. In many adventures in football Cozzella – former Pescara striker at the time of Tom Rosati – has supported Navarra and it is not excluded that the two could meet again in Pescara. With what role? The sporting director will remain Daniele Delli Carri, for Cozzella there is the possibility of the same role he had in Casertana, that of general manager. At the moment, however, hypotheses remain, the most important thing for Pescara’s future is that Sebastiani can count on new partners and fresh capital to plan plan A. To date, Rosettano Navarra is the most concrete solution.
Attilio Tesser. And time is also running out for the choice of the new coach. Attilio Tesser remains in pole position. The coach, under contract with Triestina, has given his availability, but at the beginning of the week Pescara asked for further time. The reason is easy to understand: Sebastiani wants certainty about the available budget. The possible arrival of Tesser would require the choice of at least four players with personalities for the coach’s idea of football. Not so much for the formation which will be the 4-3-1-2 but for the experience and ability to play top tournaments that the former Pordenone player requires. However, any agreement with Tesser will only be possible with the certainty of a significant budget.
The transfers. There is a little treasure in the till. With Ivan Mesik and Lorenzo Milani who ended up at Heracles, Pescara collected 700,000 euros (excluding bonuses) and other resources may arrive soon. Davide Merola and Alessandro Plizzari represent capital. And there is also Matteo Dagasso who could bring fresh money. The 2004 class is in the sights of the Serie A club, to be evaluated whether in the event of a sale he could remain on loan for a year in the blue and white. Gigi Cuppone and Christian Tommasini are also on the market. The feeling is that Cuppone can greet with a suitable offer. The prized piece of the market is Davide Merola: the player wants Serie B, Cesena is the club that came forward first and would like the player. The price? No less than one million euros.
Arrivals. When everything is defined at club and coach level, the incoming market will also start. There are many names in the notebook of sporting director Daniele Delli Carri, those underlined in red in case of an ambitious project are those of the defenders Ivan Marconi and Davide Guglielmotti, the attacking midfielders Luca Tremolada and Nicola Mosti of Modena and the forwards Alessio Curcio (returning to Catanzaro) and Claudio Morra (of Rimini). However, watch out for Morra at Vicenza after Franco Ferrari’s knee injury.
