Add the Gazzetta del Sud as a source
At the end of the finishing training sessions, today the coach of Cosenza Calcio Federico Coppitelli met the press at the Villa Fabiano Palace Hotel in Rende. The coach of the rossoblù team illustrated the team’s activities in view of the Cerignola – Cosenza match, the first match of the Serie C Sky Wifi 2026/27 championship. «We are happy and enthusiastic to start this championship – explained the coach – because the preparatory part creates the desire to get involved. We come from a good performance in Crotone which confirmed what we had experienced during training: we already have an identity, qualities and a lot of potential.”
The trip to Cerignola
«We know that there is a very difficult away match because Cerignola at home – recalled Coppitelli – is historically a very strong team. It is a very tough obstacle for a team that is at the beginning of a journey like ours, but we are aware that we are leaving to play a match that can bring something good. The Audace Cerignola is a synthetic pitch, we prepared in Aprigliano by training on a similar pitch. We are ready.”
The new squad of Cosenza Calcio
«The team is doing well, – stated the coach – in Crotone, I repeat, it has shown that we have a structure, an organisation, qualities that give us advantages which is the most important thing when building a group identity. We have the right motivation, the right desire, to play a good match with the awareness that we are a team under construction. Sporting director Lucioni certainly has the will and ambition to complete the squad as best as possible. The transfer market is open, we are working with serenity, we still have time, we are about to draw a line to start having a good season. Now is the time for everyone to have a unique perspective: try to make an important championship. ».
Cosenza Calcio in Cerignola
«The team we will see tomorrow will be the one that took to the field in Crotone – explains Coppitelli – we will have important pressure and quality from the opponents, but I am confident because the team both individually and collectively is working with great calm. We will have to keep our attention high. For now we know that we were able to turn the small question marks we had into positive certainties in Crotone. We must have the same approach to Cerignola, with this attitude we can think of putting in a good performance against Cerignola. I’m very confident: we have what it takes to have fun and entertain. In the championship we will be a annoying team for the opponent.”
