Carrarese is about to take the final formal step towards the start of a new era. Today should be the day of the announcement of the new coach, Gabriele Cioffi, but until the official announcement arrives, the club from Piazza Vittorio Veneto is keeping a low profile, also concentrating on the possible evolutions of the market. The long shadow of Antonio Calabro, the former Azzurri coach, made official by Padova last Saturday, seems intent on rebuilding in Veneto at least part of the group that contributed to the successes achieved in Carrara in recent years. Among the first names indicated by the new coach there would be those of Emanuele Zuelli and Simone Zanon, two elements the Salento coach knows very well and believes are perfectly suited to his playing style. Zuelli, who has made 110 appearances, 6 goals, and 8 assists for the Azzurri, has distinguished himself for his dynamism, versatility, and ability to play multiple roles in the central midfield. Zanon, who has made 116 appearances, 7 goals, and 17 assists, has proven himself to be one of the most consistent and reliable players in the league in his position. The contracts of the two players are not expiring: Zanon's will expire no earlier than June 2027, while Zuelli's expires in the same month of the following year. Therefore, to bring them to Calabro's court, sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli will have to offer Carrarese a suitable sum. But Calabro's notebook doesn't stop there. Padova has also set its sights on Stiven Shpendi, a striker the Apulian coach had already coached at Carrara in the 2024-2025 season. Shpendi, who scored 4 goals and 2 assists in 24 appearances with the Azzurri shirt, has demonstrated significant qualities that truly blossomed in his last season at Empoli, where he registered 15 goals and 2 assists in 35 appearances. We'll see if these interests lead to actual negotiations and how Carrarese responds. The Carrarese club is ready to start the new season with a new coach and a new project. The fans are eager to see what will happen in the next season. Carrarese needs to strengthen its team to be able to compete with the other teams in Serie B.
