The agreement in principle had already been there for some time. However, in order for it to be said that only black and white was missing, some details had to be ironed out between the parties. The turning point came on Saturday: between Matt Rizzetta and the outgoing owners of Reggina the agreement is now 100%. In the sense that all the obstacles have been overcome and between Sunday and Monday the signing of the preliminary contract could arrive, which will lead to the Amaranth club passing into the hands of the current president of Campobasso.
Rizzetta in Reggio Calabria already next week?
It may be necessary to wait for Monday for the announcement, but today what was optimism has turned into almost certainty with respect to the fact that the amaranth club will change owner within a few hours. A turning point that the market has been waiting for for weeks, considering that the experience of the Ballarino-Minniti company has had to deal with the evidence of results that have been satisfactory in the field. Three Serie D championships without leaving amateurism are an unprecedented parenthesis in the history of Amaranth.
Rizzetta, who could arrive in Reggio as early as next week, has already instructed his collaborators to define an organizational chart that can guide Reggina towards the only objective set for next season, namely first place. For the role of sporting director, the hypotheses are put forward by Francesco Montervino or Carlo Musa, but Stefano De Angelis would also be on the notebook of the possible new ownership. Ciro Ginestra (who recently won the D with Guidonia Montecelio) and Leandro Greco remain hot names on the bench.
Matt Rizzetta at Global Underdog Partners
Rizzetta’s Underdog Global Partners deals with investments and valorisation of sports assets. He recently hit the headlines for being at the head of a potential 2 billion euro investment for the acquisition of Napoli. Rizzetta is already the president of Campobasso and the company controls several football and sports clubs around the world (for example Napoli Basket).
