Bellucci’s adventure as coach of Cagliari Under 18 ends here, the former Sampdoria striker vying for the Blucerchiati Primavera
Claudio Bellucci he goes away Cagliari bringing with it many satisfactions. He returned to Sardinia last July, after a period as assistant coach of the first team in the 2021/2022 season. This time he was given one Under 18 which hadn’t done badly the year before and the objective was to try to improve the placing.
The former Sampdoria striker even managed to qualify for the championship playoffs, then won by Genoa. The dream vanished only against Atalanta, one step away from the semi-finals. The sixth place of the Under 18s of Cagliari, together with the group of boys that he trained, are the joys that Bellucci will bring with him now that he is leaving office. In a story first and then in an Instagram post, the coach greeted the young rossoblù like this:
Today a unique experience ends. I was fortunate to coach a fantastic group with an exceptional staff in a city of good people. Set out to make a better championship than the year before and without pretensions, we surprised everyone, playing on equal terms against everyone, with the boldness that has distinguished us throughout the championship. The play-off objective was achieved and not celebrated by everyone. I still have the respect and compliments of my opponents during the championship and the smiling faces of my boys. Against everything and everyone you were fantastic. I will always be your number one fan.
I love you UNDER 18 CAGLIARI

But above all he is still without a coach Springafter the farewell of David Sassarini and the interim management of Pastorino.
Among the possible candidates for the Doriana Under 19 bench is Bellucci, who has already worked as a coach in Sampdoria. First in the youth team, Then in the Primavera as deputy by Enrico Chiesa, later technical collaborator of Walter Zenga for the first team. Finally, coach ofUnder 17 from November 2015 to June 2017.
For him it would be a return to an environment that, from the little ones up to the first team, he has tasted as a player and as a coach: he started in the Blucerchiati youth team, before collecting his 121 appearances in the Sampdoria shirt (with 23 goals scored). Once the Sardinian parenthesis is closed, other doors will open in front of Bellucci. One of these leads to the port of Genoa…
