The management and technical staff of the Massese 2024/25 edition was presented in the hall of the Andreazzoli Brothers’ Mazda dealership and in the presence of the owner Giuseppe Andreazzoli. A fairly soft presentation, without proclamations at the moment and with the awareness that there will be a lot of work to be done. Even in light of the last two championships.
President Antonio Grini was not present, because he was busy with work, and so General Manager Augusto Cantoni acted as host in the presentation of the new coach, Massimiliano Pisciotta. Sitting radially around Cantoni are the warehouse workers Giuseppe Offretti, the trainer Giacomo Gregoli, then the technician Massimiliano Pisciotta, the GM, the assistant coach Maicol Gabrielli, the goalkeeping trainer Roberto Pardini and the new Team Manager Giovanna Santi. Director General Cantoni opened the presentation by immediately thanking Mr. Andreazzoli, owner of Madza, who this year will be the main sponsor, for his kindness in offering the presentation room. Giuseppe Andreazzoli on his part said that he is happy with this union and hopes for new fortunes for the Bianconeri.
Then the GM introduced the members of the new staff one by one, some very new, others old acquaintances. However, all valid and trustworthy people. As regards the championship and the transfer market – which was immediately the target of many questions – Cantoni admitted that he has been working for some time, that four or five elements from last season have been confirmed and that he has as many new players in his notebook.
“Among the old players – announced the Director – there will certainly be Vignali and Ricci, completely recovered after last season’s injuries, then Brizzi and Andrei and others who we are evaluating, we are talking about them”.
Of course the point was Buffa. “Buffa is a splendid boy – the DG further confessed – and at this moment he has asked us for another week given the requests also from professional teams that have reached him. And this, despite also being a Massese fan, put him in a bit of trouble. And we wait. Then we will see if he will still be with us well otherwise we will look around ”. Then the presentation of the coach Massimiliano Pisciotta and he was asked about his previous life as a player and coach. And he willingly spent his time making his intentions clear. Where he started and what he expects.
“I expect maximum commitment from the boys – confessed Pisciotta – and dedication, attachment to the team and then we’ll see about the formation, it will depend on the players available and the match. Last year I played games with just one striker but then also the 3-5-2.”
The curiosity of the fans, present despite the private seat, continues on the players and the coach was asked if he already has any confidence in him.
“Of course I will bring some players who I have already had and who give me guarantees, but for this it is early, we will work together with the Director”.
Finally the presentation of the new ones. The athletic trainer Gregoli made some assumptions about athletic and muscular work, the assistant coach Gabrielli confirmed his good work done in recent seasons, the goalkeeping trainer Roberto Pardini did not want to make any statements at the moment while the team manager Giovanna Santi she confessed her experience in the branch, however at the youth sector level, but that she is animated by a lot of will and enthusiasm for this new adventure. Finally, when asked what he expects from the new season, the warehouse worker was succinct: “I finally expect a new promotion”.
Not positive news however from new entries into the company and from the municipality.
