San Marino. Juvenes-Dogana: 12 signings to relaunch, but Mr. Amati is the key point
Juvenes-Dogana looks to Romagna to restart.
After a difficult season and access to the preliminary phase of the playoffs which ended at the end, the company from Serravalle wants to present itself to the new championship with a more competitive team, handing the complete squad to Manuel Amati for the start of athletic training. The Italian coach will be the fixed point from which to start again, in the midst of many grafts: there are 12 players already registered, including eight from Romagna teams and four from San Marino clubs, already presented, together with the new management and the new staff , Thursday evening at the Garden San Marino restaurant.
The expert Fabio Gentilini, of Libertas, is the first piece of the new goalkeeping department, reset after the departure of Simone Guidi and the farewell to football played by Eros Gobbi. There are already four positions in defense, a sector in which, at the moment, there would be only a second left-back: the central Alexander Adrian Radu and the full-back Giacomo Borghini from Spontricciolo, a promotion team that a month ago announced the merger with Riccione FC 1926, and the full-backs Gianmaria Borghini, arriving from the newly promoted Fya Riccione in Serie D and having spent in San Marino between 2014 and 2018, and Alex Cavalli, from Cosmos. Three confirmations, with Michele Cevoli, Maicol Acquarelli and Federico Muccioli who remain in red and white.
Revolutionized by the transfer market is the midfield, where, of the six players available to Mr. Amati, only Alberto Baldazzi was already in the squad. Two of the grafts arrived from Verucchio Calcio, which will participate in the Promotion championship for the third year in a row: Riccardo Colonna and Gabriele Ciccarelli. They will be joined by a third element coming from Spontricciolo, Lorenzo Meluzzi, Davide Lisi (formerly Folgore) from Tropical Coriano, a formation of Excellence, and the eighteen-year-old Nicholas Lisi, trained in the San Marino Academy but produced by the youth sector of Juvenes-Dogana. It should be noted that Mattia Michelotti will not be able to join the squad this year for work reasons, but will return to the group in the 2023/24 season.
Come to defense, three players have also been confirmed forwards: Eric D’Angeli (top scorer 2021/22 with 5 goals, like Davide Merli), Lorenzo Pasquinelli and Federico Tumidei. Around them, the management of Juvenes-Dogana is building the attack for the coming season. For now, Gianluca Benedetti arrived from San Marino, last year at Cailungo, and Francesco Stella, from Cosmos, while from Pietracuta, a formation of Romagna Excellence, Mario Antonio Salvemini joins the squad, also with a past in the Cosmos.
