The departure of striker Manuel Manara
Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2025 8:12 am
The amateur transfer market is struggling to get going, but something is moving. Former Castel San Pietro coach Andrea Orecchia is close to reaching an agreement with Giacomense, newly promoted to Serie D. This means that Eugenio Benuzzi, who was promoted twice in a row, will be free. He could be interested in Imolese should Menghi give in to the pressure of several teams who have noticed his good work this year at Dozzese. However, it's not out of the question that Menghi might decide to stay with the Gialloblu for another year.
In the event of a departure, one of Andrea Lombardo, if he doesn't go to Castel San Pietro, or 'Bobo' Del Monte, will be appointed. Alberto Fiorentini has been confirmed as coach of Castelbolognese, while Castel Guelfo will change management, with Antonio Belli not retained, as requested by Borgo Tossignano, where one of Giancarlo Baraccani or Alessandro Selva could instead land. The villagers have also made inquiries about Imola ASD coach Mariano Strano, who is also coveted by Casale. Former Imola ASD coach Gabriele Sandri has received numerous inquiries: Castel Guelfo, Casalfiumanese, and Borgo Tossignano have all come forward.
However, it's likely that Sandri will decide not to coach next season. The possibility of a merger shop between Castel Guelfo of the Prima Categoria and Guelfo '97 of the Seconda Categoria seems to have been definitively scrapped. Barring any unexpected developments, each club will continue its footballing adventures under its own steam. Castel Guelfo will change coaches and has made inquiries about Bubano's 'Gigi' Camorani, while '97 has confirmed coach Marco Tinti for next season. The situation at Bubano is still unclear; everything depends on what coach Camorani will do.
Who is considering hanging up his boots, is almost certain. Central defender Dimitri Donati is expected to remain, while the situation of the very young Matteo Pirazzoli, owned by Massa Lombarda, remains to be evaluated. Sant'Antonio is very active in the transfer market and will appoint one of Paolo Livi or Carlo Landi as coach. The arrival of striker Tiziano Cavalli is certain, Montanari del Filo is almost a done deal, and Zambrini's continuation is still being considered. In the Second Division, Stefano Garbuglia has been confirmed as coach of Juvenilia.
