Second training session with open doors and new crowds for Cosenza. Yesterday afternoon, the Sila team was welcomed by a thousand people at the “Real Cosenza” sports centre.
Official. Yesterday the fourth official arrived. Alessandro Fontanarosa was announced by the club in via degli Stadi after that in recent days the ds Gemmi has ousted the competition of other cadet clubs. The left-footed central defender born in 2003 owned by Inter arrived with the dry loan formula, in addition to the recognition of prizes linked to his enhancement. Yesterday the defender made himself available to Fabio Caserta and got to know his new teammates. He is fresh from the Under 20 World Cup played in Argentina in which Carmine Nunziata’s team was defeated in the final by Uruguay. In the event, while remaining behind in the hierarchies compared to Ghilardi and Guarino, he collected five appearances. In Coverciano his name is already known as he was part of the minor blue selections. Now he will compete for the first time with big football to continue his growth path. He will therefore try to climb the hierarchies also exploiting his ability to play the ball. During his short career, he also wore the shirts of Sampdoria and Empoli. He remained in the Tuscan club until 2019 when he was taken by Inter for a considerable amount for a player his age (just over 700,000 euros).
The others. The announcements of the other players for whom the speeches have already been defined are now expected: Mateusz Praszelik, Manuel Marras and Valerio Crespi. The incoming transfer market has clearly not ended here but this new round of grafts reduces the need to add pawns. Instead, it remains to free up space. At the exit, therefore, the gaze will now focus decisively. Luca Pandolfi terminated his contract yesterday and will marry the Cittadella. The striker from Campania last season was on loan at Juve Stabia. For Andrea Hristov the path that leads to Potenza has not faded.
Referee. In the meantime, Lega Serie A has announced the name of the referee for the Coppa Italia match valid for the 32nd round of the Coppa Italia. The match between Cosenza and Sassuolo will be directed by Giuseppe Collu for the section of Cagliari. The young Sardinian whistler is a novelty for both formations, which have never been directed by him. The Cagliaritan has just landed in Can A. His promotion was communicated by the leaders of The Hague last July, after five years spent in Serie C. Collu will be assisted in his work by assistants Francesco Cortese from Palermo and Paolo Bitonti from Bologna. The fourth official will be Giorgio Vergaro from Bari. The referee team will then be completed by Var Federico La Penna from Roma 1 and Avar Francesco Cosso from Reggio Calabria.
