After the arrival of Paolo Morganti e Ciro Polito now it’s the turn of the coach who still doesn’t have a name. The bench that burns the yellow and red one after the farewell of Vivarini who leaves an indelible memory in terms of play and results.
It is clear that it will not be an easy choice to accept Catanzaro for the man who intends to take up the legacy of a coach who not only has had the time to put his playing philosophy into practice but has been able to change Catanzaro’s mentality which not only he played football but wanted to dominate on the pitch.
Because the truth is that, beyond the exceptional results obtained over the course of two and a half years, Vivarini made a great leap in quality in the mentality of the team and the fans to whom he constantly transmitted positivity, conviction and determination.
Constant application, growth in terms of ideas, new tactical themes, but above all grande ball possession in the wake of a Guardiola-style playing philosophy that had made the public fall in love, almost dazzled by that tiki taka from the bottom that hypnotized the opponents and then hit them on the counterattack.
Thinking back, it makes you feel really sad and you still don’t understand why the owners wanted to put an end to this wonderful creature with unique traits and absolutely recognizable in the yellow and red shirts, but now we have to accept it and hope for a new cycle, maybe even more attractive and fun. Who knows.
Of course, everything suggests a real downsizing, but woe betide it, someone could cry scandal in a historical moment in which the saints in heaven must not be touched – and so in fact it still happens, while admitting without any mystification that this property he could immediately think much bigger given that he also knows how to make cash very well.
The real feeling is that Catanzaro has come back down to earth thanks to the will of an ownership that wants to play football in its own way and in its own time and manner. Take it or leave it and above all, forget about nostalgics and those who wanted everything right away: there is time, even if the club is ready, very ready for the leap in category.
First objective: maintaining Serie B and at the same time growth in terms of new structures for young people to be raised on the model of the large nurseries to guarantee corporate stability and a bright future for the first team. An idea already expressed by president Noto who in the meantime has started work on the PoliGiovino playing field and awaits the delivery of the San Floro one. In the background the great project of the sports center.
With Vivarini gone, everything vanishes and there is no trace of what has been. The total revolution implemented by the Noto family leaves no doubts. It also goes away Christian Politiniwhich helped elevate an important piece of the company’s communication.
Only the technician Aquilani could have continued in his wake, but the former Roma midfielder said no, probably because he was not convinced by the guarantees received from an ownership intent on starting a new cycle, whose technical characteristics and budget are not yet known.
A decision that left everyone speechless but which evidently convinced the owners who, after letting Magalini and Foresti go, did the same thing with Vivarini, who is about to sign for Frosinone where Stirpe, on the other hand, is aiming without too many mincing words to return to the top division.
Catanzaro who therefore begins a new season today without yet having found the right man on the bench. In the last few hours he is gaining more and more altitude Paul White but we also talk about Pepper Iachini and even of Pippo Inzaghi very close to Pisa. All market rumors that await confirmation in the next few hours.
Meanwhile, the transfer market has started and there are many requests for numerous Catanzaro players. The double move to Cremonese is almost complete for Sooty e Vandeputte which will enrich the coffers of President Noto, but there will be several players who will leave the Tre Colli. Also for Saunas e Scognamillo Avellino would do anything and do the same Biasci Many teams like him.
Meanwhile, the press conference to present the DG and the DS scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed to Wednesday afternoon, probably in the hope of defining the new coach.
