Cosenza coach Federico Coppitelli met the press. In the conference room of the Villa Fabiano Palace Hotel in Rende, the coach provided a summary of the team’s first activities in view of the Trenitalia Crotone-Cosenza Regional Serie C Italian Cup match. «In my career – said the rossoblù coach, answering questions from the journalists present – I have always embraced challenges with enthusiasm. I am a can-do man and I had no hesitation in accepting the job with Cosenza Calcio. I knew the situation and the potential of the club. It is a reality that has played football at an excellent level with teams that, in terms of investments and technical value, were at the top of the category last year.”
«We don’t want to have a banal championship»
«We don’t want to have a banal championship. Last year Cosenza Calcio came from Serie B – Coppitelli recalled – and had maintained more or less the same structure. Today we are setting up a competitive and credible team for the work that is being done with the staff. We are certain that he will be able to give satisfaction and do well. I expect our commitment to emerge and the spirit of the boys to be felt. We had a good retreat, despite some slowdowns. The Italian Cup match will help us understand if we have set the right path for the new squad.”
Mister Coppitelli does not accept alibis
«Not having the stadium to play at home will be a problem, but I don’t accept excuses: Cosenza must give their all. For now I can’t say that it is a factor that is affecting performance. A cycle is closing – the Wolves coach clarified – there is no dismantling of Cosenza in progress. A line had to be drawn and we did it. Of the “great” players we have Ciotti, Emmausso, Dametto, D’Alena who are important players for us, alongside other strong players like Dalmazzi who has just arrived from Sambenedettese. We are putting together a squad that can entertain and have fun. We are very motivated.”
