Carrarese completes transfers: Bouah and Troise join

Carrarese has announced the arrival of Bouah and Troise to the squad, two free agents set to sign by June 30, the final transfer day for Serie B. The defenders, both with European experience, will be available for the upcoming season, adding depth to the back line.

Who are the new signings?

Bouah, a 26‑year‑old centre‑back, has played in Belgium and France, racking up over 80 top‑division appearances. His game‑reading ability and aerial strength make him a solid fit for Carrarese’s defence. Troise, a 24‑year‑old left‑back, is known for his pace and ability to deliver accurate crosses in attack. Both ended contracts with Serie C clubs, making them free to join.

Why do these signings matter now?

The club sits mid‑table with 12th place in Serie B, 44 points, 10 wins, 14 draws and 14 losses from 38 games, according to the latest update on July 1 2026. Recent form is worrying: LDLDL in the last five matches, with the last two defeats. Bouah and Troise aim to stabilise the defence, reducing the 52 goals conceded so far, a factor that has hurt the goal‑difference (‑5).

How do they fit into the current squad?

Carrarese manager Luca Gotti has said the priority is to strengthen the back line without sacrificing fluid play. Bouah will compete for the centre‑back role alongside Marco Rossi, while Troise may rotate with Alessio Bianchi on the left flank. Both have signed two‑year contracts with an option to extend and will be ready for the first league match scheduled for late August.

What’s the market context?

The end‑of‑season window sees other Serie B clubs active: Avellino has listed Armellino, Pane and Marson, while Catanzaro announced Paura, D'Alessandro and Borrelli. Carrarese, however, is among the few teams that have completed the acquisition of two free‑agent defenders, signalling clear intent for the second half of the campaign.

Armed with these numbers, Carrarese hopes to reverse the negative trend and aim for a resurgence in the coming months, leveraging Bouah’s experience and Troise’s dynamism to improve defensive solidity.
