PESCARA. The white smoke on the new Pescara corporate composition is postponed again and consequently to know the new sports project everything is postponed to the weekend or the first days of next week. No meeting today between Rosettano Navarra and Daniele Sebastiani for the entry into the company of the former Pontedera. Everything postponed to tomorrow, again in Ferentino. In the meantime Sebastiani continues to work on other roads, there must have been something important in France on a trip officially motivated for the negotiation of a young footballer born in 2006. Sebastiani is working on three situations, the whole truth will be known shortly. The wait is starting to become unnerving even if the delicacy of the operations requires using all the time available. But we cannot go beyond next week and we have to start a sports project just over two weeks from the meeting. While it is true that DS Daniele Delli Carri has everything ready and is waiting for the green light from Sebastiani, it is also true that some players placed at the top of the wish list might not be waiting for Pescara anymore.
Market. Ivan Marconi is one of the main objectives to strengthen the defense. The agreement between Pescara and the former Palermo player is almost complete, but the experienced center back has many offers and may not wait for Pescara any longer. Trapani is very interested in him; information has also been requested by Toscano’s Catania and Delli Carri knows that there is no more time to waste. A similar situation occurred for Alessandro Di Munno, a 24-year-old midfielder from Novara. The player’s contract was expiring and Delli Carri had been working on it since the end of March. The agreement with his entourage was complete, but the sports director had the input to wait before signing the contract. Di Munno then accepted the extension of the Piedmontese club. In the meantime, the white and blue sports director spoke with Filippo Antonelli, director of Venezia, a few days ago. They discussed two forwards that Pescara really like. Andrija Novakovic, born in 96, 6 goals on loan to Lecco in Serie B and the strong 2001-born Daishawn Redan 10 goals in Triestina and a profile appreciated by Attilio Tesser, one of the coaches on the ds’ list for the Pescara bench. Novakovic, however, has many requests and seemed a bit cold when Serie C was proposed to him. The Redan operation is easier. And there is a strong danger from Benevento on two profiles followed by the white and blue ds. The Campanians would like to try to bring both Claudio Morra and Alessio Curcio to the yellow and red, on Pescara’s list for a quality attack. On the way out with Cuppone, who is the promised husband of Cerignola (but an agreement needs to be found), Tommasini could also say goodbye. Cerignola himself expressed appreciation for the former Pisa player and he was discussed at the dinner that had Cuppone as the main course. But also watch out for Monopoli of the former coach Alberto Colombo. And in defense there is the question of whether Brosco and Di Pasquale will remain. Both have contracts, Brosco’s will expire in 2026 but they are not sure of confirmation. The input of the new coach will be needed.
The bench. Speaking of coach: the corporate stalemate does not help and Pescara remains firm on the choice of the new coach. Attilio Tesser is always first on the list even if the economic agreement with the Montebelluna coach is not easy to find, but he remains a credible option in the case of an ambitious project. The other name, that the white and blue management likes a lot, is that of Fabio Caserta. Two championships won in C with Perugia and Juve Stabia, a lot of experience also in B and he is fresh from the dismissal of Cosenza. Pescara particularly respects him and, if it is not possible to find an agreement with Tesser, that of Caserta is a name that can be spent. And of great importance.
The groups. Tomorrow the three groups of the Serie C championship will be made official. Pescara will be in the central group, while the draw will decide where Juventus NG, Atalanta under 23 and Milan under 23 will end up. The Rossoneri have taken the place of Ancona, the only team that did not meet the registration criteria.
