Catanzaro is preparing to live one of the most delicate and decisive weeks in recent years. Crucial days, destined to redesign the club's management and technical leadership.
The first step concerns Alberto Aquilani. The Roman coach will terminate his contract with Catanzaro until 2027 to embark on a new adventure in Serie A, where he awaits Sassuolo.
With the Emilian club, in fact, the former giallorosso coach is ready to sign a two-year contract with an option, thus closing his experience in the top three in a short time.
A separation that is now defined and that opens, once again, the theme of succession in the bench.
But that of Aquilani will not be the only farewell. As widely anticipated by our editorial staff, Paolo Morganti is also ready to leave Catanzaro: after a courtship that has lasted over a month, the general manager is destined to transfer to Fiorentina, where he will assume the role of organizational manager of the Viola Park sports center.
A heavy exit, because it deprives the club of a central figure in the organization and planning, precisely in a phase in which it will be necessary to redefine strategies and programs for the new season.
Instead, the knot related to Ciro Polito remains to be solved, today the most delicate dossier on the table of patron Floriano Noto.
The sports director, under contract until 2027, will meet with the ownership in the coming hours to understand the margins and prospects of a possible renewal or to clarify the reciprocal horizon.
Several clubs have moved on him: Spezia and Cremonese follow the evolution of the situation, while Lecce, although interested, appears to be more off the radar.
If the giallorosso society does not open to a contract extension, Polito should also bid farewell to Catanzaro, completing a total turnaround at the top of the technical area.
It would be another restart. For the fourth consecutive year, in fact, Catanzaro would be forced to start again with a new coach, called to collect the legacy of those who preceded him and to give continuity to a technical project that, despite the continuous changes, has preserved a precise identity.
The search for the next profile has already started: in recent days, there would have been a call to the entourage of Possanzini, a name that remains among those monitored with greater attention, while it is not excluded the idea Pagliuca.
More off the radar is the path that leads to Galloppa, also because the coach does not seem particularly attracted to the Catanzaro hypothesis.
