Days of official announcements arriving at Sella Cento, with the announcement of the new general manager, Renato Nicolai, who should arrive today or tomorrow at the latest. Once what has already been known to the experts for days has been made known, the pieces of the technical staff will begin to be put together, with the first signatures arriving, and consequently the exit from the contract of Matteo Mecacci, who has a option to be exercised within ten days. All issues that Renato Nicolai will have to face when he takes office. But let’s go step by step. The coaching question obviously arouses a lot of curiosity, with Emanuele Di Paolantonio, a young coach but with already experience in A2, B1 and Serie A assistantships, who is indicated by many as the candidate in pole position. His agency is the same as Mecacci’s, and this aspect could certainly count too, but pay attention to other names that could be in the running. One is that of Paolo Moretti, in the past heard by Giulio Iozzelli precisely for the red and white bench, and today free, and then there is Alberto Martelossi. The Friulian coach worked in Serie A2 in Ferrara in 2011 with Renato Nicolai, the two have an excellent personal understanding and have certainly spoken in recent days. It remains to be seen whether or not this contact will lead to a negotiation.
