New Youth Sector Manager Introduced, New Coaches Revealed
(by Lorenzo Ruggieri) In recent years, the management of the Taranto youth sector has been a big question mark, with many doubts on the part of fans and enthusiasts. Doubts that Massimo Giove wants to turn into certainties and it is precisely in this perspective that the appointment of Pietro Armenise in the role of coordinator of the rossoblù youth selections fits. These are the first statements of the former footballer, among others, of Foggia and Venezia as the new manager of the Taranto youth sector: “We will start from scratch, with a very important path. Talking about young people is a sore point, we need to rebuild everything as demonstrated by the national team. President Giove gave me the opportunity to be part of a glorious company and I expressly wanted coaches who have worn the Taranto shirt on professional fields to give a sense of belonging. When I played here I had goosebumps, the Iacovone gave me extra motivation”.
The youth teams: “There will be 4 teams, namely Primavera, Under 17, Under 16 and Under 15, as well as Under 13 and Under 12 belonging to another club. Cazzarò will be the Primavera coach, while Francesco Latartara for the Under 17s, Arseni for the Under 16s. Only a former footballer can teach the technical gesture and the locker room. I thank Mister Capuano and promise to make myself available to him to work well with young people. I would like to reevaluate the territory and the entire South in general.”
Revaluation of the territory: “We had the opportunity to form an affiliation with Virtus Taranto, which can count on 500 young athletes. I will also try to establish collaborative relationships with the entire territory and neighboring companies.”
