Fabrizio Costantini is the new coach of the San Marino national team • newsrimini.it
Fabrizio Costantini is from today to formalize the new coach of the national team of San Marino. The 53 year old San Marino coach lands on the bench of the Titans after four years at the helm of the U21 national team. Two full two-year years, inaugurated in Belarus in 2017, for 26 benches, up to the last one – a few days ago – in Ingolstadt with Germany.
The new CT starts from here, which ensures: “I can’t say I expected it, I certainly hoped a lot. In these four years with the Under 21 team we have touched the result several times, but for the most diverse reasons we have not found it. However, I believe that the many players who have made the leap to the national team, some quite a few, testify to the goodness of the work produced. When a young player joins the national team it is only good, not surprisingly this is perhaps the primary goal in terms of Under 21. Many boys are involved in a championship of proven level and if the passage, more or less long, from the U21 ranks I consider it of importance – continues Costantini –, it is the duty of the National Technical Commissioner to monitor every call-up. Everyone will be taken into consideration, more or less experts. The national team of San Marino, like and more than others, cannot afford to exclude any player a priori ”.
In the past of Costantini, in addition to the three two-year-olds at the helm of the Under 21 team – the last of which was interrupted after six of the ten qualifying days for Euro 2023 -, also years as a football player in the San Marino championship with Juvenes-Dogana, Tre Penne, Cosmos , San Giovanni and Dogana. In addition, many seasons in the Italian leagues – up to the Promotion in the Marche. As a technician, experiences in the territory with Fiorentino, Murata and Juvenes-Dogana: at the helm of the Serravalle club he reached the final of the 2014-15 San Marino Championship, which ended up being the prerogative of Folgore.
Costantini is called to train the technical staff with whom he will face a demanding and full of challenges 2022. The team of collaborators of the Technical Commissioner will be communicated in the coming weeks, which will set the work oriented primarily by addressing the two international friendlies in March, being defined, as well as at four UEFA Nations League matches in June – to be played in the space of fifteen days.
Then again in September with the two matches in the most recent of the latest UEFA national team competitions, before closing with a couple more friendly officers. That could be two more, where the Titans will come drawn in the group consisting of only three teams within the League D as happened in 2020. To find out, we will have to wait for the official draws of the next one December 16, which will be held in Montreaux (Switzerland) and for which CT Costantini confides his first wish: “If I had to choose, I would undoubtedly sign to rejoin the four-team group. More real matches, as well as of this magnitude – undoubtedly more to get at our level than in World Cup and European qualifications – can only do us good “.
