Therefore Claudio Ferrarese is officially the new sporting director of Lucchese. For the 46-year-old from Verona, this is the first assignment in a professional team. A bit like it was last year for Alessandro Frara. The final approval to a piece of news which had actually been circulating for a few days and which we ourselves had reported for the record, came from President Bulgarella in person, during an entire afternoon spent at the company headquarters in Viale Giusti.
This is the press release: “Lucchese 1905 officially announces the appointment of Claudio Ferrarese as the new sporting director of the Rossoneri team. The new director has signed a contract until June 2025. Claudio Ferrarese will work closely with president Andrea Bulgarella to strengthen the team and build a solid and ambitious project. The synergy between Ferrarese and Bulgarella will be crucial to achieving the club’s sporting and organizational objectives. Ferrarese boasts a long career in the world of professional football between Serie A and Serie B with experience in renowned teams such as Napoli , Cagliari, Turin, Verona and Salernitana, to name a few. The new sporting director will be operational with immediate effect and will bring his experience and expertise to the service of the Rossoneri colours.
And this is the first statement from Ferrarese, after the official appointment: “I am honored to join a company with such a prestigious history as Lucchese. Working alongside the president Andrea Bulgarella will be a great stimulus for me. I am ready to give our all to contribute to the team’s success and further grow the sporting project.” After Ferrarese, Massimo Morgia entered the presidential office and explained in broad terms the project for a grand relaunch of the youth sector, which will need an important economic intervention if it wants to catch up with the other companies that play activities with young people.
“The project – the president then explained – will be illustrated during a press conference, at which I will also be present and which should take place mid-week, at the stadium”.
The chosen day should be Thursday in the afternoon, because in the morning Bulgarella, together with its designers, will have a meeting at Palazzo Orsetti with the local administrators regarding the project of the new Porta Elisa, which the Group is ready to complete in a reasonable time. In short, it can be said that since yesterday Lucchese has been working on the reconstruction of a team on which the Ferrarese manager will have to work in agreement with the president and naturally with coach Gorgone who will have to express his opinion on the players that the club would like to bring. in staff.
But, as we have already had the opportunity to write, the priority for Ferrarese will be to find a solution for the players who are no longer included in the plans, but who are still under contract with Lucchese. And we close with some market news. Andrea Rizzo Pinna was the great protagonist of Lucchese’s season with 12 goals, with the club should have offered him a contract extension last January, instead of letting him leave on a free transfer. Sudtirol and Pisa like the striker in B, but the big C teams are queuing up: Benevento, Padova, Perugia and Trapani.
