After Mister Viali’s return to Italy yesterday, the first technical meeting together with sporting director Pizzimenti is scheduled for the weekend: thus the team continues to take shape. Reggiana version 2024/25…
A department that will certainly need to be strengthened is the rear one, even more so if the tactical idea – at least initially – is to propose a four-man line. From this perspective, the appointment of the central expert is envisaged Andrew Meronione of the pillars of Cosenza in the last two seasons where he has already been coached by Viali, reaching salvation in the rossoblù in 2023 and 2024. Born in ’97, a skilled scorer capable of playing profitably with both three and four, his contract with the Wolves at the end of a positive season but marked by a long injury (out from the end of December to March) and is very close to landing in the Granata with a multi-year agreement, as underlined by today’s edition of Resto del Carlino and Gazzetta dello Sport. Meroni grew up in the youth sector ofEmpoli and, after a move to Serie C at Paganesehe managed to show off in Serie B even with Pisa And Cremonese. In Reggio he would strengthen a department that can already count on the captain’s experience Paul Rozzio and of Mario Sampirisi as well as on the freshness of Diego Stramaccioni (2001), another new face who will be seen at work for the first time in a few weeks in retreat.
On the right side lane the new name is that of Simone Cinquegrano19-year-old full-back owned by Sassuolo fresh winner of the Primavera championship where he scored 5 goals: according to Resto del Carlino the chances of seeing him in the squad are not small. On the left-handed out, Pieragnolo’s heir will easily still be a young player leaving some Serie A club or arriving from abroad. In midfield the names of remain hot Alexander Sersanti (2002, Juventus) ex Lecco e James Calòa 27-year-old still under contract with Cosenza for whom there is no shortage of admirers in Serie B.
