A dramatic turn of events at Reggina: the goalkeeper Giuseppe Lumia terminates his contract and leaves Reggio Calabria. An unexpected epilogue for the path of the former goalkeeper of Siracusa on the Strait, who arrived with the credentials of someone who could have been the starting goalkeeper. The club specified that the resolution of the agreement occurred at the express request of the player.
There was also space for a few words from Lumia. “I thank the entire club, the coach and all the technical staff for the opportunity given to me, but personal and family needs push me to move closer to home.”
A bolt from the blue, but one that didn’t leave Reggina uncovered between the posts. The club in recent days has signed the 2004-born Lazar, coming off a season as a starter in Fasano. He is joined by the 2006 class Druetto who the club decided to sign after having seen him in training already at the end of last season. We also await the announcement of Katsaros, also born in 2006.
The name that, however, makes the most noise remains that of Miguel Martinez. Lumia’s uncertainty in Barcelona has meant that the name of the Spaniard has been loudly invoked by the fans. It is no mystery that in recent weeks there has been discontent linked to some choices that have been followed by the exclusions of the Spaniard from friendlies and official matches. However, he is a leader of great charisma, well-liked by the public and his teammates.. He trains regularly with the team and everything, even before Lumia’s farewell, suggested that a new beginning could be found for the Spaniard. Will there be an acceleration on this front after the farewell to the goalkeeper who was a starter in the first two official matches? We could have some more details today in Rosario Pergolizzi’s press conference scheduled for 12. With Giuliodori in the eleven (born in 2004 and the same age as Lumia) there would in fact be room for the over Martinez in the eleven.
The team trained yesterday at the “Granillo” behind closed doors. The program will be the same both today (session at 10 am) and also for the finishing touches on Saturday (3:30 pm). For Sunday, the Amaranth should be spoiled for choice.
Today could be a decisive day to find out if the Curva Sud will be accessible for the match against Scafatese.
Reggina is also moving in the youth sector. The coach of the Juniores will be Tobia Assumma, who returns to Reggio after his experience in the youth teams of Lazio. In his staff, the athletic trainer Salvatore Gangemi, the goalkeeping coach Stefano Pergolizzi. The team manager will be Domenico Chiaia, the social doctor Paolo Borrello and the physiotherapist Antonio Pezzimenti.
For the Amaranth team, placed in group M, the championship will start from Scafati on Saturday 14 September.
